Leaves from Three Ancient Qurans : Possibly Pre-Othmanic, Paperback / softback Book

Leaves from Three Ancient Qurans : Possibly Pre-Othmanic Paperback / softback

Edited by Alphonse Mingana, Agnes Smith Lewis

Paperback / softback

Description

Originally published in 1914, this book contains a transcription of leaves from three Arabic Qurans, purchased in Egypt in 1895.

Lewis and Mingana date the sections to pre-Othmanic Islam, and each reveal surprising variations in the original Quranic texts.

This book, which was controversial at the time of its first publication, will be of value to anyone with an interest in early Quranic palimpsests and Islamic history.
