Abstract
For nearly a thousand years, certain copies of the Qurʾān have been ascribed to such prominent Islamic figures as Imām ʿAlī and other Shīʿa Imāms. Although no evidence of ascription is found from the first three centuries, nearly two hundred copies of such manuscripts and fragments are found today around the world, especially in Shiite areas. After a historical overview of the phenomenon and classification of the various types of ascribed codices, this article provides evidence for the rejection of these ascriptions and that establishes the colophons as forgeries. The last part of the article includes a table of about two hundred Qurʾānic manuscripts ascribed to Shīʿa Imāms preserved in libraries and museums all over the world.
近一千年来,《古兰经ān》的某些抄本被认为是由一些著名的伊斯兰人物如Imām al ā ā和其他shyi ā ā Imāms所著。虽然前三个世纪没有找到归属的证据,但今天在世界各地,特别是在什叶派地区,发现了近200份这样的手稿和碎片。在对各种类型的署名抄本的现象和分类进行历史概述之后,本文提供了拒绝这些署名的证据,并将这些抄本确定为伪造品。文章的最后一部分包括一个表格,上面有大约200份古兰经ānic手稿,这些手稿被认为是shyi - al Imāms所写,保存在世界各地的图书馆和博物馆中。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Islamic Manuscripts (JIM) explores the crucial importance of the handwritten book in the Muslim world. It is concerned with the written transmission of knowledge, the numerous varieties of Islamic book culture and the materials and techniques of bookmaking, namely codicology. It also considers activities related to the care and management of Islamic manuscript collections, including cataloguing, conservation and digitization. It is the Journal’s ambition to provide students and scholars, librarians and collectors – in short, everyone who is interested in Islamic manuscripts – with a professional journal and functional platform of their own. It welcomes contributions in English, French and Arabic on codicology, textual studies, manuscript collections and collection care and management. Papers will be peer-reviewed to maintain a high scholarly level. The Journal of Islamic Manuscripts is published on behalf of the Islamic Manuscript Association Limited, an international non-profit organization dedicated to protecting Islamic manuscripts and supporting those who work with them.
