Corrections in Early Qur’an Manuscripts: Twenty Examples (Pocket Edition) is a concise, fully illustrated guide to physical evidence of textual change in some of the earliest Quran manuscripts. Drawing from the author’s extensive firsthand examination of early codices in major libraries and collections worldwide, this portable edition contains the complete text of the original 2019 work, with twenty selected case studies of scribal corrections from Islam’s formative centuries.Clear photographs and concise explanations make it easy for scholars, students, and general readers to recognize overwriting, erasure, additions, and substitutions, and to understand what these reveal about the transmission and preservation of the Quran text.Designed for portability and ease of reference, this edition is ideal for lectures, study groups, and personal research. It presents concrete, verifiable manuscript evidence without advancing speculative theories or polemics, encouraging informed and respectful discussion.An accessible, visually rich resource for anyone interested in Islamic studies, manuscript traditions, or the history of sacred texts, this pocket edition offers a direct encounter with the human process of copying and preserving the Quran across the centuries.PRAISE:'Brilliant. A unique and valuable resource.' -- Mark Durie, Melbourne School of Theology'One of the few remaining pioneers in this domain is Dan Brubaker, who discovers the minute ’corrections’ on the old parchments, which he investigated in the main collections all over the world. [...] Dan Brubaker’s approach is as modest as it is scientifically sound [...]. In addition [...], he has found a way to lead the reader through a highly sophisticated topic, so that familiarity with Arabic is not even necessary to follow his arguments.' -- Gerd-R. Puin, Universität des Saarlandes (retired)'This book about corrections in handwritten copies of the Qur’an offers its own correction of a widespread but faulty view about the Qur’an.' -- Daniel B. Wallace, Executive Director, Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts'With great enthusiasm Brubaker introduces the fascinating field of quranic text criticism to a general audience while never losing sight of the academic rigor required for such. No one has documented more corrections in Qurʾān manuscripts than Dr. Brubaker. Worth reading.' -- Marijn van Putten, University of Leiden'Brubaker has here given a helpful introduction to the body of his research on corrections in Qur’an manuscripts, which is now serving as a reference to a wider group of scholars studying the contours of the Qur’an’s early transmission history.
