How can we hope to understand Islam without knowing how its founding text, the
Qurʾān, took shape and then crystalized? The discovery of a palimpsest in
Sanaa in 1973 confirmed the existence of other recensions of the Qurʾānic text
in the first centuries of Islam. Studies of these documents and of the
manuscripts of the predominant transmission have made it possible to identify
the various strata of texts and the variants that were gradually excluded.
This unprecedented approach to the Qurʾān profoundly renews the intellectual
and cultural history of the Muslim world.
