		De ces cours, Henry Corbin racontera ceci : «Certes, le maître distribuait bien au début de l'année un programme répartissant un thème général sur un certain nombre de leçons.
		Ce qui n'empêcha pas Henry Corbin de mettre en évidence, lorsqu'il le jugeait nécessaire, les divergences, les «nuances d'opinion», selon son expression, qui le distinguaient de son « maître », avec d'ailleurs toujours infiniment de tact.
		Enfin, même s'il s'agit d'une anecdote, Henry Corbin critiquait en Louis Massignon sa «méthode de l'hélicoptère» qui consistait, après «un rapide survol de l'ensemble», à «atterrir» sur un manuscrit, à en faire «une rapide étude de reconnaissance», puis à «reprendre son envol pour aller ailleurs».

		The lucern hammer is vaguely similar to the halberd, only instead of an axe blade, it presents a three-pronged hammer to its victim (hence the pronged polearm designation).
		The bec de corbin looks extremely similar to the lucern hammer; however the hammer side was sometimes blunt instead of pronged.
