François Déroche examines the material history of early Qur’anic manuscripts to challenge monolithic perceptions of early Islamic textual development. Through a meticulous analysis of codicological evidence and paleographic variations, the author reveals a period defined by significant regional diversity and pluralistic scribal traditions. This scholarly investigation offers a definitive look at the physical evolution of the sacred text during its formative centuries.
