Toledo’s archbishop remained unaware of the Latin Koran seventy years on

Evidence

Yet seventy years after the composition of the Collectio toletana, Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada, archbishop of Toledo, was apparently unaware of Robert’s translation of the Koran: he induces Mark of Toledo to produce another translation (see chapter 7). — John V. Tolan, Saracens, 875

Categorization

• QUESTION: How did knowledge of the Collectio toletana fail to spread so completely that Toledo’s own see needed a fresh Koran translation within a generation? Worth chasing the circulation history.
