'Die Heilige Qur'ān, by Imam Muhammad A. Baker.
First edition of the first Afrikaans translation of the Quran, published in 1961.
'The style of Afrikaans dates from the 1940s–1960s. The author deliberately used spelling which mimics Arabic pronunciation even if those words have been taken up into mainstream Afrikaans with a different spelling or pronunciation. It is a literal translation, but the text reads like normal, idiomatic Afrikaans, with a few errors. The word "surah" was translated "hoofstuk" (meaning "chapter"). The book does not contain the Arabic text.' - Wikipedia
