Le Codex Amrensis 22: Histoire d'Un Manuscrit Attribué À ʿuthmān de la Mosquée de ʿamr Ibn Al-ʿĀṣ Au Caire
The Codex Amrensis 22 is a manuscript of monumental dimensions - and sometimes identified with the copy said to bear the blood of Caliph ʿUthmān - which ranks among the most significant early Qurʾānic witnesses. Long dispersed across collections in Paris, Cairo, Gotha, Istanbul, and Detroit, its surviving leaves are examined here together for the first time in a comprehensive manner. Their layered features reveal distinct stages of production, and this study highlights, in an unprecedented way, the links between folios scattered across institutions. Drawing on material examination, radiocarbon dating, and historical testimony, this study situates the manuscript within its chronological, geographical, and sociocultural settings, revealing how, over the centuries, different communities and institutions have preserved, restored, and reinterpreted this Qurʾānic artefact.
