Book review: The renown Epistula ad Mahumetem of Pius II was inspired by two works: the Cribratio Alkorani of Nicholas of Cusa (1401–1464) and Contra principales errores perfidi Machometi (Against the Principal Errors of the Perfidious Mohammed) by Juan de Torquemada (1388–1468). The former was a German cardinal and the latter one was one of the major supporters on the idea of crusade (together with Bessarion) at the Congress of Mantua.
