Yet its history, from its inception in seventh-century \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArabia to its transmission in the modern world, remains understudied. The \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etwelve chapters in this book address this lacuna by examining multifaceted \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estages in the Qur'ān's history and transmission through a broad range of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emethodological and theoretical approaches. The volume examines the earliest \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ematerial evidence of the Qur'ān through its manuscript tradition and explores \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etheir content and form. This includes a focus on the Qur'ān's unique \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eorthography and insights into the Sanaa manuscripts. Additionally, this work\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprovides new insights by broaching upon critical moments in the Qur'ān's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehistory, such as the codification of Abu Bakr. A crucial component of the book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003edeals with approaches to the variant readings of the Qur'ān, understood as\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebeing sanctioned through narrations on the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eaḥruf\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. It explores fresh\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003einsights into how Muslim scholars theorised such variances and the way they\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003erelated them to the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eqira'āt,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e including how they approached the\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003evariant codices of prominent companions. Furthermore, this work explores\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eunderstudied non-Qur'ānic transmissions of the Qur'ān alongside the historical\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003edevelopment of Qur'ān translations.
