Abstract
This paper presents the results of a comparison between the Latin version P, drawn up by the friar Francesco Pipino OP, and its vernacular model, VA. The analysis, based on chosen samples, discusses the common belief that P is a censored version, showing that the main cuts depend on its model. The negative depictions of Muhammad and Islam and of idolatry are also analysed.
