{"product_id":"history-of-the-quran-9781847742346","title":"History of the Qur'an","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Qur’ān is the sacred religious\nbook of Muslims around the world. Yet its history, from its inception in seventh-century\nArabia to its transmission in the modern world, remains understudied. The\ntwelve chapters in this book address this lacuna by examining multifaceted\nstages in the Qur’ān’s history and transmission through a broad range of\nmethodological and theoretical approaches. The volume examines the earliest\nmaterial evidence of the Qur’ān through its manuscript tradition and explores\ntheir content and form. This includes a focus on the Qur’ān’s unique\northography and insights into the Sanaa manuscripts. Additionally, this work\nprovides new insights by broaching upon critical moments in the Qur’ān’s\nhistory, such as the codification of Abu Bakr. A crucial component of the book\ndeals with approaches to the variant readings of the Qur’ān, understood as\nbeing sanctioned through narrations on the \u003ci\u003eaḥruf\u003c\/i\u003e. It explores fresh\ninsights into how Muslim scholars theorised such variances and the way they\nrelated them to the \u003ci\u003eqira’āt, \u003c\/i\u003eincluding how they approached the\nvariant codices of prominent companions. Furthermore, this work explores\nunderstudied non-Qur’ānic transmissions of the Qur’ān alongside the historical\ndevelopment of Qur’ān translations. This volume advances the field of Qur’ānic\nstudies and Qur’ānic history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"F.
