  • Investigation on the Ancient Quran Folios of Birmingham H
    Investigation on the Ancient Quran Folios of Birmingham H. Sayoud Investigation on the Ancient Quran Folios of Birmingham Halim Sayoud http://sayoud.net SUMMARY In 2015, some scientists of the University of Birmingham discovered that four folios containing some ancient Quran manuscripts dated from the period of the Prophet’s companions ( i.e. few years after the death of the Prophet ). In fact a radiocarbon analysis showed that there is a 95.4% chance that the parchment on which the Qur'an fragments were written can be dated sometime between the years 568 and 645CE. This means that the animal from which the skin was taken was living sometime between these dates. Furthermore, we know that the Prophet lived between 570 and 632CE, which makes this discovery quite interesting by showing that this manuscript could be one of the oldest manuscripts in the world, or at least dating from the first centuries after the Prophet death. In this investigation, we are not going to confirm that discovery, but only checking whether the ancient text is similar to the present Quran or not. The first results based on character analysis, word analysis, phonetic analysis and semantic analysis have shown that the Birmingham Quran manuscript is similar to its corresponding part contained in the present Quran (Hafs recitation ). According to this investigation, it appears that the Quran has been safely preserved during the last 14 centuries without alteration. 1. Introduction on the Birmingham Quran manuscript The Birmingham Quran manuscript consists in four pages made of parchment, written in ink, and containing parts of chapters 18, 19 and 20 of the holy Quran.

The Arts Council is passionate about collections and their ability to impact upon and enrich our lives, and the Designation Scheme is an important and visible assertion of our belief in their enduring cultural value. The Designated collections cover such diverse areas as political and ecclesiastical archives, art history, literature and theatre, economics, the history of transportation on land and on water, and the medical profession. They demonstrate eclectic tastes and intellectual journeys, the emergence of disciplines and theories and the careers of our famous figures. They bring art, science and industry together in stimulating ways. Our collections hold the key to who we are and they are an irreplaceable resource. Designation is an enduring award and it is crucial to the Arts Council’s mission to bring great art and culture to everyone. Designated collections are located in both rural and urban centres across the country, from Cornwall to Cumbria. The Designation Scheme was introduced at the behest of government, and since 1997, has identified pre-eminent collections held in museums, libraries and archives across England. The founding aims were to raise the profile of these vital collections and encourage safeguarding of them. Designated collections benefit in numerous ways. During 2013-15 the Designation Scheme was reviewed and in 2014 we published Pearls and wisdom, our vision for the future of the Scheme.
