Qurans Of The Umayyads By François Déroche by François Déroche

A study of early Qurʾanic manuscripts produced during the Umayyad era that combines codicological, paleographical and scientific evidence to document their scripts, formats and likely regional origins. It situates these codices within the emergence of Islamic book production and examines what their physical features and orthographic tendencies reveal about the history and transmission of the Qurʾanic text, reassessing dating, provenance and patterns of standardization in the formative centuries of Islam.
