Mark of Toledo linked Qur’anic style to purported epileptic seizures

Evidence

Mark of Toledo related the violence of the seizures ( ‘like’ epilepsy and ‘like’ demoniac possession) to the ‘confused style’ of the Qur’an which he thought an important defect. He pictured Muhammad himself as having stressed the angelic violence: cogzt me angelus. — Norman Daniel, Islam and the West, 173
