Quran From Amr Ibn Al As Mosque Fustat Egypt

Catatan bacaan artikel

The Qurʾānic book is considered to be the receptacle of the Sacred Word as it was revealed to the prophet Muhammad by God. [receptacle = an object used to contain something]. Dating Qurʾānic manuscripts has long posed a fundamental challenge for scholars. Studies have been conducted on one such manuscript by A French scholar Dr Eleonore Cellard. The manuscript entitled Codex Amrensis 22.

This manuscript was kept at the ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ mosque, Fusṭāṭ from where a member of French expedition to Egypt, Jean-Joseph Marcel, acquired a few leaves which became part of the collection of what is now known as National Library of Russia at St. Petersburgh. A few years later another Frenchman, Jean-Louis Asselin de Cherville, a consular agent of France in Cairo from 1806 to 1822, was able to buy a few folios. These were passed to the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, and became part of Arabe 326 collection of Qur'an manuscripts. Thus it can be surmised that the single folio at the Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art, London, must have the same provenance – the ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ mosque at Fusṭāt.
