    The syllabus of Segovia is interesting. And the van Putten's comments as well. Even if his mind is polluted by the traditional account ("revelation", "Hijaz", etc) which fight against his linguistic skills. Yet, he is able to remark that those affirmations about the language of the Quran contradicts harshly what his scientific skills tell him : that these affirmations do not fit with the Quranic Consonantal  Text :

    Quote
    It is of course possible that the orthography does not adequately represent the ʿArabiyyah (a poetic koine that functioned as an intertribal form of communication of high poetic culture, close – if not identical – to what eventually came to be thought of as Classical Arabic.). It certainly is not the first time that we are confronted with an orthography which deviates significantly from the language it is supposed to write. The Quran, however, is unique in that its orthography points to a linguistic situation which is less archaic than the language it is supposed to represent.


    It is supposed only by the  affirmations of the traditional account which pollutes the brain of the all scholarship, which state that the Quran is related to "poetry". It is inexact. Manfred Kropp had already seen this : that the work of the grammarians of the 8 and 9th c had consisted in giving an archaic poetic form to the text because he did not have one. I add to Kropp statement that it was done because it is the "language of God" which cannot be otherwise. That's why they did it.
    Make sure to read the van Putten's note he wrote here : https://iqsaweb.wordpress.com/2017/11/06/the-status-quaestionis-of-%CA%BFarabiyyah-pre-islamic-poetry-and-the-quran/

    Daniel Beck's point :

    Evolution of the Early Qur’ān
    From Anonymous Apocalypse to Charismatic Prophet

    Critical scholarship on the Qur’ān and early Islam has neglected the enigmatic earliest surahs. Advocating a more evolutionary analytical method, this book argues that the basal surahs are logical, clear, and intelligible compositions. The analysis systematically elucidates the apocalyptic context of the Qur’ān’s most archaic layers. Decisive new explanations are given for classic problems such as what the surah of the elephant means, why an anonymous man is said to frown and turn away from a blind man, why the prophet is summoned as one who wraps or cloaks himself, and what the surah of the qadr refers to.

    Grounded in contemporary context, the analysis avoids reducing these innovative recitations to Islamic, Jewish, or Christian models. By capitalizing on recent advances in fields such as Arabian epigraphy, historical linguistics, Manichaean studies, and Sasanian history, a very different picture of the early quranic milieu emerges. This picture challenges prevailing critical and traditional models alike. Against the view that quranic revelation was a protracted process, the analysis suggests a more compressed timeframe, in which Mecca played relatively little role. The analysis further demonstrates that the earliest surahs were already intimately connected to the progression of the era’s cataclysmic Byzantine-Sasanian war. All scholars interested in the Qur’ān, early Islam, late antique history, and the apocalyptic genre will be interested in the book’s dynamic new approach to resolving intractable problems in these areas.

    I'm reading his preface. And I will read it. but it seems totally outdated :

    Quote from: Al-Roubi
    "3. Where in Arabia are the missionary activities
    Crone is talking about? Islam is the predominant religion
    there with the exception of sporadic pockets in Yemen
    where a few hundreds of Jews live. Crone talks about
    missionary activities without referring to any source to
    verify this piece of information."


    All of this is inexact. We know today that all liveable place in the peninsula got many Christians and/or Jews.
     It seems that  Al-Roubi  is the only response to Crone  But one important thing. As already said, I'm not agree wit her because one way or another she takes into account the traditional account she could not  help herself  to do it : There's a paper in academia in French ,( 4 pages, Crone sceptic bla bla bla) that explain this issue. Take it  then : google translate or https://www.deepl.com/ (better)... I'm agree with the guy in academia.


    Quote from: Al-Roubi
    "First, is Crone's rejection of historical and
    geographical facts claiming that the Holy City of Makkah
    is not situated on its original historical location. She
    moved the location of Makkah on the map thereby
    rejecting all indications made by Greek and Roman
    authors to Makkah in the old ages."


    There's no f*** Mecca (as recounted by Ibn Ishaq) before Islam. End of story. You cannot f**** reasoning in taking one piece of the traditional account into account because guys like Al-Roubi will come and start to cite dozens of Muslims historians who have already did the work about the city, creating the whole story.

    Quote from: Ahmad Al-Jallad
    The #Safaitic inscription KRS 1131 contains a unique invocation:  ḫaraṣa ʾahl-oh ḥāṣ́era fa-hā-ʾAḤAD wal-lāt salām le-ḏī daʿaya 'he kept watch for his family while camping near water so O ʾAḥad and Allāt, may he who reads (this) have security and spoil'

    This is the only occurrence of the god name ʾaḥad, literally 'One'. The term is used in the the Shema (שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָֽד) Deut. 6:4. It is possible that the Safaitic nomads were invoking the God of Israel in this inscription, referring to him as 'the one god'. Ironically, while the Shema is the essence of Jewish monotheism, the polytheistic nomads invoked ʾaḥad, 'the one god', besides Allāt, the famous ancient Arabian goddess --a beautiful example of religious syncretism in the ancient world!

    Using this term : Ḥigāzī, Ahmad Al-Jallad disregards himself as a scholar (but not as a believer ) because there is not one piece of  Ḥigāzī artefact /inscription known from the "Hijaz". That does exists.  "Ḥigāzī"  term, old or not, exists only in the traditional account.  This appellation given by Michele Amari (c.1830-40) should be removed from all scientific work. Before Islam, nobody in Orient knows this term, invented ad hoc after 650.

    No, this would not qualify as a critical edition of the Quran in the Western sense. So, scholars such as Gabriel Reynolds would not be satisfied. Although the edition might provide good information for scholars working on the Koran, and especially those interested in variant readings.

    Regarding your two very important questions, here is my answer, beginning with the first one.

    Who is correct? Both, I think. It is true that there is no critical edition of the Koran like there is a critical edition of the Bible. But Reynolds is oversimplifying the case of the Cairo edition. True, it is not based Western scholarship, but it was not only based on the variant reading either. As Marijin noted, the Cairo edition was also based on Dānī's Muqniʿ, which is a very accurate book. And this is part of the problem, and this might also answer you second question. There is not much work to do on the Koran. The consonantal skeleton, i.e., the basic drawing, has been accurately preserved and it is very much uniform across all of our manuscripts. Even revisionists, such as Reynolds and Small, agree on this point. Another reason as to why there is no critical edition, is because we have not analysed all Koranic documents. This is currently being done by the Corpus Coranicum project. Anyways, a critical edition is on its way, thanks to Corpus Coranicum, and also, if I am not mistaken, the Inârah Institute.

    Fred M. Donner’s Muhammad and the Believers: at the Origins of Islam is a novel interpretation of early Islamic history that attempts to strike a balance between the position defended by those historians who accept the traditional Muslim narrative in its general outline and the various revisionist scholars ................

    “Muhammad and the Believers’ Movement” is the title of the second chapter. Donner starts the chapter by giving a summary of the traditional sīra narrative (“biography” of Muhammad).

    ....Donner cites the existence of a few non-Muslim sources from the seventh century that at least make reference to Muhammad and his followers, thus confirming the existence of a historical Muhammad and the occurrence of an expansion process. .......................................


    what historical Muhammad??  

    sorry to say this....  but rubbish ..absolute rubbish... but  i agree with his words "Origins of Islam is a novel" and it should be read as novel .. not early history of Islam..

    Yeezevee,

    I do not know why you think it is rubbish. If you have evidence, please provide it. Muhammad is said to have died in 632 CE. Already within 8 years of his death we two sources explicitly mentioning him. And there is more. How do you deal with that?

    which  Muhammad are we talking about dear Mahgraye??  From Quran or from hadith ??  the word "Muhammad" is NOT a proper Arabic name ., you can add that word to many names  as a leader or a  praise worth person...  see posts around this link

    How many Muhammad's do you see there? As far as Quranic Muhammad is concerned ...  What do you read in Quran about Muhammad ?  Quran is written in the name of "Muhammad" with the stories  of Prophets of OT & NT to reinforce the faith in the converters..

    I dealt with those stories and I will deal with it again but please give me the links on "Muhammad"  the prophet of Islam  existence ...

    you must realize that  "the Jewish folks , the Armenians, the Greeks, the Syrians and the Persians  all these folks of that time were advanced cultures with written scripts..  Give me some proof  from the historians  of that time from those cultures ..

    Storytellers are not historians
