He traced the eastward extension of Malay-like languages into the western Pacific. The book was published in the French language by Isaac Vaillant. Den Haag, 1721.

Now follows a Foreword of the author, in which he, at length, describes the life of Mohammed and the consequential becoming of Islam. This book is not a Koran. Reland rather e x p l a i n s the Islamic belief (theology) in general and in particular, Islamic rites and prayers and the Koran as the word of Allah to non-Moslems.
