Summary
“The Book of Qurʾānic Verses’ Number (agreed & disputed) according to scholars from Makkah, Madīnah, Kūfah, Baṣrah and the Shām countries” deals with the punctuation demarcating the Qurʾānic verses based on the method in force in Andalucía. The book also deals with the issue of whether the Qurʾānic chapters (surahs) are Makkan or Madinan revealed, provides a word, letter and verse count for these chapters, and mentions the differences of opinion amongst scholars on the number of verses. The book was written by the Shaykh of the Recites in Andalucía, Abū al-Ḥassan ʿAlī bin Muḥammad bin Ismāʿīl bin Bishr al-Tamīmī al-Anṭākī, who is considered to be the first to have initiated publishing in this field. The book is a rare and very early manuscript.
