Demonstrating in detail that the Islamic tradition relates not a single attested account of the holy text?s formation, Stephen J. Shoemaker shows how the Qur?an preserves a surprisingly diverse array of memories regarding the text?s early history and its canonization. To this he adds perspectives from radiocarbon dating of manuscripts, the linguistic history of Arabic, the social and cultural history of late ancient Arabia, and the limitations of human memory and oral transmission, as well as various peculiarities of the Qur?anic text itself. Considering all the relevant data to present the most comprehensive and convincing examination of the origin and evolution of the Qur?an available, Shoemaker concludes that the canonical text of the Qur?an was most likely produced only around the turn of the eighth century. 517 $aCreating the Qur’an 517 $aCreating the Qur?an 606 $aAncient religions & mythologies$2bicssc 606 $aIslam$2bicssc 610 $aReligion 610 $aAncient 610 $aIslam 610 $aHistory 615 7$aAncient religions & mythologies 615 7$aIslam 700 $aShoemaker$b Stephen J$4auth$0618665 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910585998603321 996 $aCreating the Qur?an$92902249 997 $aUNINA
