Keith Small shows that the earliest obtainable text is an early edited form of the Arabic consonantal text, but not the original texts described in Islamic historical sources.Electronic books.297.1/226Small Keith E.1959-933667MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453564403321Textual criticism and Qur'ãn manuscripts2101989UNINA
