Abstract
History & origin
[edit | edit source]The first mention of any variant of the term Mussulman in a widely used European langauge was its Latin variant "Biserminorum", first mentioned in 1246 in an unidentified book by Giovanni da Pian del Carpine, the famous explorer. His unidentified book is mentioned as "Rec. de Voyages & c. (iv ed.)" on page 750.[1]The term has had various mentions over the centuries from Latin, to English, Italian, and even French.
Etymology
[edit | edit source]The word Mussulman likely stems from the Persian word "Muslimân", which was adopted as a singular, which thus formed the plural "Musalmān".
