This unique work takes a method of textual analysis commonly used
in studies of ancient Western and Eastern manuscripts and applies
it to twenty-one early Qur'an manuscripts. Keith Small analyzes a
defined portion of text from the Qur'an with two aims in view: to
recover the earliest form of text for this portion, and to trace
the historical development of this portion to the current form of
the text of the Qur'an. Small concludes that though a significantly
early edited form of the consonantal text of the Qur'an can be
recovered, its original forms of text cannot be obtained. He also
documents the further editing that was required to record the
Arabic text of the Qur'an in a complete phonetic script, as well as
providing an explanation for much of the development of various
recitation systems of the Qur'an. This controversial,
thought-provoking book provides a rigorous examination into the
history of the Qur'an and will be of great interest to Quranic
Studies scholars.
