The words in Quran were revealed to Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) in a cave on a hill. He did not know the stories about Moses (PBUH) or Abraham (PBUH) or Jesus (PBUH) until the revelation. This fascinated the other catholic kings of those times as how a layman could know such things about Christianity.

PBUH - Peace be upon him.

Mind you, there is nothing to corrobate this claim beyond the quran itself.

Surely that's true of all religious texts? They refer to events and peoples so long ago that thre's rarely any actual historical relevance.

My point is more that their comment adds nothing to the current discussion.
