Leaves from Three Ancient Qurans
Possibly Pre-Othmanic

21st Jan 2018 by Ahmadaltaher

This is really an important historical book that any researcher interested in the topic of Quranic history would be delighted to see published. However, there is a major problem with this edition: All images in the book are NOT Quran. The images called Quran A (opposite page 68) and Quran C (opposite page 4) appear to be some religious commentary most likely Islamic. The image called Quran B (opposite page 40) appears to be a religious commentary most likely Christian. Although I failed to properly identify these 3 texts, there is no doubt in mind (that once memorized most of the Quran and still very familiar with it although I approach it as a secular now) that none of them came from the Quran. Any fellow at Cambridge who is capable of reading Arabic and is fairly familiar with the Quran (or even just capable of opening the Quran to the verses referenced) will attest that it is NOT Quran. I hope you can review and correct. I'd still give 4 stars due to the importance of this work. Sincerley Ahmad
