Medieval polemic graded Islamic sacrifice inferior to Christian by scale

Evidence

Lull pointed out that Islamic sacrifice is quantitatively as well as qualitatively inferior to the Christian, since there is only the annual sacrifice of a single sheep, in honour of the sacrifice of Abraham. — Norman Daniel, Islam and the West, 1219
