Abstract

Codex Mashhad in the Āstān-i Quds Library (Mashhad), comprised of Manuscripts 18 and 4116, is possibly one of the most important documents for our understanding of developments in the early history of Qurʾānic text. The combination of all features of this codex as a whole is found in few copies of early Qurʾāns written in ḥijāzī style. Considering the text, the spelling rules, the variant readings, the orthographic peculiarities, and the arrangement of sūras, it may be concluded that the main part of this codex was transcribed in a very early period, probably in the first/seventh century. Yet, unlike other early Qurʾānic manuscripts, the whole Qurʾān in the initial status of Codex Mashhad has been transcribed based on the official ʿUthmānic version but according to Ibn Masʿūd’s arrangement of sūras.

古兰经早期历史的新文献ān

位于Āstān-i Quds Library（Mashhad）的《马什哈德法典》由手稿18和4116组成，可能是我们理解《古兰经》文本早期历史发展的最重要文件之一。这本法典的所有特征作为一个整体的结合，可以在几本早期的《古兰经》中找到ḥijāzī风格。考虑到文本、拼写规则、变体读数、正字法特点和súras的排列，可以得出结论，该法典的主要部分是在很早的时期转录的，可能是在1/7世纪。然而，与其他早期《古兰经》手稿不同的是，《马什哈德法典》初始状态下的整本《古兰经”都是根据官方的《乌塔》版本转录的，但根据伊本·马斯德对súras的安排。
