Textual Criticism And Qur'an Manuscripts by Keith E. Small
A concise study of how modern textual‑criticism techniques can be applied to the Qurʾanic manuscript tradition, surveying major early codices, variant readings and material evidence (palaeography, orthography, palimpsests and radiocarbon dating) to assess what the manuscript record can and cannot tell us about the history of the text. It evaluates the limits of stemmatic reconstruction in this context, examines processes of canonicalization and transmission, and proposes practical methodological principles for editing and evaluating Qurʾanic texts while cautioning against simplistic analogies with biblical textual criticism.
