About the Product
The Quran is the sacred religious book of Muslims around the world. Yet its history, from its inception in seventh-century Arabia to its transmission in the modern world, remains understudied. The twelve chapters in this book address this lacuna by examining multifaceted stages in the Quran history and transmission through a broad range of methodological and theoretical approaches. The volume examines the earliest material evidence of the Quran through its manuscript tradition and explores their content and form. This includes focusing on the Quran unique orthography and insights into the Sanaa manuscripts. Additionally, this work provides new insights by broaching upon critical moments in the Quran history, such as the codification of Abu Bakr.
A crucial component of the book deals with approaches to the variant readings of the Quran, understood as sanctioned through narrations . It explores fresh insights into how Muslim scholars theorized such variances and related them to the qirat, including how they approached the variant codices of prominent companions. Furthermore, this work explores understudied non-Quranic transmissions of the Quran alongside the historical development of Quran translations. This volume advances the field of Qurnic studies and Quric history.The book features contributions from F. Redhwan Karim.
