Second Canonization of the Qur??n (324/936)

In The Second Canonization of the Qur??n, Nasser studies the transmission and reception of the Qur??nic text and its variant readings through the work of Ibn Muj?hid (d. 324/936), the founder of the system of the Seven Eponymous Readings of the Qur??n. The overarching project aims to track and study the scrupulous revisions the Qur??n underwent, in its recited, oral form, through the 1,400-year journey towards a final, static, and systematized text. For the very first time, the book offers a complete and detailed documentation of all the variant readings of the Qur??n as recorded by Ibn Muj?hid. A comprehensive audio recording accompanies the book, with more than 3,500 audio files of Qur??nic recitations of variant readings.
