The rest is history. Perhaps a search of S's sources might > turn up a copy? I have seen a copy of Anquetil Duperron's work. The Latin seemed to me unnecessarily unclear. He often uses Greek words where a Latin one would be sufficient. My first impression was that there is a mystifying tendendancy behind this. But I have to confess that this is based on a superficial glance not on a in-depth-study of the text.
