In Baetica quodam loco maxime notabilis doctorum hominum coetum plusquam aliis locis in Baetica, ex variis religionibus fidem non inuenit in mundo sunt omnium quae fidei Academia ad discussionem omnibus hominibus.

Nam ita fuisse Athenis antiquitus in Academia et sapientium et doctorum hominum, qui homines studiosa natura disseruit aeterna, ita ut nemo fidem conterere, sed pro quibus ipsa ratio vulgo abhorrens praeter .

Etiam apud infideles, sapientes fuisse rationem dialecticam extulit arma cognita acceptaque de natura Dei. Et quia existimarent quod nullus homo poni ratio ex propositionibus per naturam Dei capere possent, tamen esset officium omnibus exquirentibus se animo et studio divinis possent. Hos paucis alumni  qui persecutus est Academia has quaestiones Alkonbas strenue se vocabant, seu "circuitus".

Nam in scripturis sacris habetur Mussulmen, quod fide crederent per mandatum Dei, ut noveritis eos, qui servant testamentum Abraham, et facere bene in nobis, qui sequebatur Iesus, qui dicitur "Isa" secundum linguam suam.

Magis mirabile est, Mussulmen cognoverunt, quod Deus erudierunt propheta Muhammad simpliciter veritatem, et veritas Dei eorum factus est simpliciter scripta legis et evangelii, in sacris litteris ipso Deo amabiles et sine erroris.

In a certain place in Andalusia, most notable for its gatherings of learned men, moreso than other places elsewhere in Andalusia, men of faith of the various religions practiced in the world did found a academy for the discussion of matters of faith that are universal to all men.  

For there existed in ancient times in the Academy of Athens such wise and learned men who could understand and discuss matters of the Eternal, in such a way as to bruise the faith of no men, excepting the unlettered and those for whom reason itself was repellent.  

Even amongst the infidels, there existed men of wisdom who exalted logic and dialectic as instruments of discovery of the nature of God.   They supposed from propositions using logic and reason that although no ordinary man could possibly apprehend the true nature of God, nevertheless it was the duty of all men to seek out the nature of God as eagerly and wholeheartedly as they possibly could.  The small academy of students who pursued these questions energetically called themselves Alkonbas, or “The Compass.”

For in the writings considered to be holy by the Mussulmen, they did believe that the faithful were commanded by God, to respect those who keep the covenant of Abraham, and to respect those who follow Jesus, who is named 'Isa' in their language.

  More amazingly, Mussulmen knew that God had instructed their Prophet Muhammad only the Truth, and the Truth of the Gospel and the Scriptures of the Law of God was holy and were sacred books, and given of God Himself without error.
