Summary
This book is fruit of the proceedings of the 8th Conference in the area of manuscripts organised by the Centre for Study of Islamic Manuscripts at Al-Furqān Islamic Heritage Foundation.
The conference’s aim was to introduce and explain the importance of manuscript Qur’ān copies, as well as to highlight the need to catalogue, reference, and make these available to researchers. It also highlighted the importance of Qur’ānic studies, such as the topic of the seven canonical readings (qirā’āt) and letters (al-aḥruf), diacritical marking in the orthography of the Noble Qur’ān and Carbon radioisotope dating, as well as following western projects regarding the publication of these Qur’ān manuscripts, such as the Corpus Coranicum project, and any other cross-cutting issues.
