{"product_id":"history-of-the-quran-9781847742353","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\nseventh-century Arabia to its transmission in the modern world, remains\nunderstudied. The twelve chapters in this book address this lacuna by examining\nmultifaceted stages in the Qur’ān’s history and transmission through a broad\nrange of methodological and theoretical approaches. The volume examines the\nearliest material evidence of the Qur’ān through its manuscript tradition and\nexplores their content and form. This includes a focus on the Qur’ān’s unique\northography and insights into the Sanaa manuscripts. Additionally, this work provides\nnew insights by broaching upon critical moments in the Qur’ān’s history, such\nas the codification of Abu Bakr. A crucial component of the book deals with\napproaches to the variant readings of the Qur’ān, understood as being\nsanctioned 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.
