    The Lower text of the Sanaa Palimpest is exciting to researchers, because its lower text is a non-Uthmanic version of the Quran. When the wording differs between the Palimpsest and the Uthmanic text, how do we decode which one is more original? A thread on a variant at Q19:26

    The added word wa-ṣamtan, in fact, does not occur in the Uthmanic text at all. As such, we can safely exclude the possibility of auto-contamination, there is no place where a scribe could have gotten wa-ṣamtan from in the text of the Quran.

    Therefore, the more likely explanation is that it is a case of Major Omission in the Uthmanic text. i.e. When the Quranic text was dictated, the dictation had the phrasing ʾinnī naḏartu li-r-raḥmāni ṣawman wa-ṣamtan. But the Uthmanic scribe failed to write down this word.

    This is an example of what Sadeghi calls a "major plus" that cannot easily be explained as the result of issues of memory while writing down from dictation.

    In other words: the Sanaa Palimpest seems to have the more original wording here.

    The fact that this very variant is indeed also attested in OTHER companion copies of the Quran, clearly also suggests that the scribe of the Sanaa Palimpsest's text type was not the only person to hear it, strengthening the evidence that the addition is the original wording.

    In Sadeghi's original 2010 article, he found in the few folios he had examined of the Sanaa Palimpsest no examples of major pluses. Which meant that technically the Sanaa Palimpsest could have been a descendant from the Uthmanic text type.

    But with the publication of Sadeghi & Goudarzi's edition, it is clear that there are indeed several major pluses in the Sanaa Palimpsest (including this one), which means that the text cannot descend from the Uthmanic text, and in this case retains the more original phrasing.

    *if* the etymology of Aḷḷāh from al-ʾilāh is correct (which I think it probably is, but it's not without its problems), the indeed Aramaic ʾelāh-ā or specifically Syriac ʾallāhā is perfectly cognate.

    It’s hard to keep track of the many back-and-forths on the topic of whether or not Makka, in the form of Bakka ( بَكَّةُ Q 3:96), is mentioned in Ps. 84:7 as עמק הבכא often translated as “the valley of Baca” or “valley of weeping”.

    Quote
    12/12 Addendum: Whether or not Makka and Bakka is the same place is a separate issue. However, the explanation of a dialectical variant with a sound correspondence or change of mim and ba seems to me ad hoc with little evidence in Arabic historical linguistics.

    This BUKHARI BULLSHIT is added in to Islam for loot & booty in the name of Prophet/Preacher.,  SO ROGUES WHO JOINED IN TO ISLAM can  loot and take booty from  innocent folks who joined in to Islam as well as innocent folks around them who were not Muslim., These roguish thugs of Islam  have done it since the death of frist preacher of Islam ((and still doing it)) with the excuse that they are following in the Prophet's foot steps., Such ROGUES ARE THERE AROUND THE GLOBE even today.,

    The only issue of MVP is (for me...) to accept to enter in the premise of Goudarzi et al., namely that the text has been transmitted by 'dictation'. And that it is 'dictation' which is responsible of the word change in the Sanaa text.
    Goudarzi is a Muslim scholar, he is obliged to follow what the narrative said about the transmission of the text and to explain what one sees in the Sanaa palimpsest,  he is obliged to invent a theory that in a dictation exercise, scribes adds words which are not pronounced by the one who dictates the text.
    My school curriculum got at each grades many 'dictation' exercises. I have never heard a teacher stating that people around me had added words that did not exist in the dictation exercise. Never, except (very) few times and especially at the age of 8,9,10, years old.
    I was very good at the the dictation exercise and I was very aware of the teacher commentaries about our work.
    There is no 'added' word by dictation, because there was no 'dictation'. There was texts.

    True If the person is Muslim and follow the faith Islam., yes He/she is obliged/forced (((forced by the society around her/him or /and obliged/forced by  Islamic Govts /country that he/she living in))),follow or invent the story that fits Islam followers .,

    but otherwise.,  why a Scholar of Islam or Scholar of Quran living in AMRIKA and working in a prestigious institute need to oblige anything except explore / investigate the facts of history of faith and origins of faith books ??

    I don't think Mohsen has any OBLIGAION dear Altara unless his funding is coming from source that makes him obligated on certain narrations of origins of Quran

    I take the point about 'dictation'. MVP isn't saying that a word has been added though. He's saying that a word has been omitted in the 'Uthmanic' text. Couldn't it be argued that the omission of a word by a scribal copyist (in the 'Uthmanic' text) is more likely than the addition of a word (in the Sanaa palimpsest)?

    Yes. But (for me...) all of this is accessory. The main topic is that the transmission is not oral.

    Quote
    In this interview, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Professor Ahmad Al-Jallad of The Ohio State University. Professor Al-Jallad is the Sophia Chair in Arabic studies and his work focuses on epigraphy, philology, the history of language. Professor Al-Jallad has been on the cutting edge of many new studies and discoveries in the history of Arabic and the Arabian Peninsula.

    Here we discuss his journey to philology and the study of Arabic as well as his recent findings in the field. We also address the implications of these findings how they impact our understanding of Pre-Islamic Arabia.

    The Study of Islamic Origins New Perspectives and Contexts
    Edited by: Mette Bjerregaard Mortensen, Guillaume Dye, Isaac W. Oliver and Tommaso Tesei

    Quote
    The study of Islam’s origins from a rigorous historical and social science perspective is still wanting. At the same time, a renewed attention is being paid to the very plausible pre-canonical redactional and editorial stages of the Qur'an, a book whose core many contemporary scholars agree to be formed by various independent writings in which encrypted passages from the OT Pseudepigrapha, the NT Apocrypha, and other ancient writings of Jewish, Christian, and Manichaean provenance may be found. Likewise, the earliest Islamic community is presently regarded by many scholars as a somewhat undetermined monotheistic group that evolved from an original Jewish-Christian milieu into a distinct Muslim group perhaps much later than commonly assumed and in a rather unclear way. The following volume gathers select studies that were originally shared at the Early Islamic Studies Seminar. These studies aim at exploring afresh the dawn and early history of Islam with the tools of biblical criticism as well as the approaches set forth in the study of Second Temple Judaism, Christian, and Rabbinic origins, thereby contributing to the renewed, interdisciplinary study of formative Islam as part and parcel of the complex processes of religious identity formation during Late Antiquity.

    Mapping the Sources of the Qur’anic Jesus
    Note 2.
    "By “Christian context,”I refer to several things (Dye 2019, 764–70): 1) several important Qur’anic characters are typically Christian figures: Jesus, Mary, John, Zachariah, the Sleepersof the Cave, and so on; 2) quite often, when Qur’anic narratives refer to figures shared by Jews and Christians (Adam, Joseph, Moses, etc.), they seem to mirror more closely Christian narratives than Jewish ones (see e.g., Witztum 2011): in short, the subtexts of many (para-)biblical stories in the Qur’ān tend to be closer to Christian texts than Jewish ones, as far as we can tell;3) some Qur’anic rhetorical arguments or topoi are directly borrowed from Christian sources: the anti-Jewish polemics, the use of the character of Abraham, and also Qur’anic demonology; furthermore, 4) many formulas and metaphors in the Qur’ān suggest a Christian background;5) some texts are clearly addressed to Christians and attest to deep interactions between “Believers”(mu’minūn) and Christians; finally, 6) some of the Qur’anic texts have been composed by literati who display a very deep and precise knowledge of Christian texts and traditions (a knowledge which cannot be gained by simple hearsay)"

    Qur’anic texts have been composed by VERY VERY deep literati who display a very deep precise knowledge of Christian texts  and they did it for Arab Christians   and those Arab Christians who became Muslims SCREWED  MIDDLE EASTERN CHRISTIANS AND THEIR CHRISTAINITY OF THAT TIME

    And I would disagree with these words ..... It is all the Quranic text....... hence they were crossed out .,  and I will also add .,
    Quote
    one can say  "The Quran authors were familiar with "Christian texts"  but the Quran the book that we see to day.,  has been edited ., and   some verse were deleted and other verses were added in it at a later time "


    Off course Altara  and many others will not agree with what I said above ..

    Anyways., So Altara  you say    And composed for Christian Arabs ..,

    That word "for"  makes me look so foolish ....

    I wonder why  you consider that .. Arab Christians of that time were so stupid  that they could not write their own texts and stories from their own Christianity but some one else wrote the texts for them in Arabic ??..

    Altara., whatever biblical story statements/biblical names are there in Quran verses  I read OT/NT statements together with Quran verses and I fully agree with your point of

     DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME.,  A Author who had precise knowledge of Christian texts does not need to resort to write CRYPTIC /Gibberish STATEMENTS in Arabic .,

    it means the authors of Quran did not had any knowledge of Christian texts forget precise .,  they just knew names and some tit-bits of biblical  stories  and more importantly these authors can not be  Arab Christians  or Pagan Arabs  ... and they can not be literati ..

    I would only consider them .(((. the authors of Quran ))) As ...."FAITH  REINFORCERS" Or REINFORCERS OF ISLAMIC FAITH "   True they have taken some earlier  Christian Arabic literature and rehashed them as Surahs  and made as book as word of Allah  ....... book Quran.....

    "After all the Qur'an does not encounter the Bible (which was not translated into Arabic at the dawn of Islam) but rather the oral Biblical traditions of late antiquity. This is why references to Jesus' bringing a bird to life are next to his healing the blind and the leper."

    For me the question here is why we should assume this comes from oral tradition rather than the existence and awareness of non-canonical biblical texts.


    That's correct.

    Is your argument that the quranic author(s) didn't come from a Christian background? (a different question to whether you consider that the positions they adopted placed them outside of Christianity)


    There is no obligation that they come from a Christian background.
