1 Mar 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran What are the Sana'a manuscripts and how were they discovered? The Sana'a manuscripts are parchment pages of the Quran, including much of Surat al-Tawba, found in the 1970s in the loft of a mosque dome in Sana'a, where old sacred texts had been stored and forgotten. Storing texts this way was a common practice. Lessonthe discovery of the Sana'a manuscripts (1970s) machine2 min 36 s0:00on YouTube
1 Mar 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Why does the Sana'a manuscript have two layers of text? The Sana'a parchment is a reused sheet: an earlier Quranic text was wiped and written over, as was common before paper, and modern imaging has recovered the lower text. That lower text differs in some ways from the Quran as read today. Lessonthe discovery of the Sana'a manuscripts (1970s)palimpsest (the Sana'a palimpsest) machine2 min 34 s2:36on YouTube
