Summary Codex Amrensis 1', the first volume of the series 'Documenta Coranica' contains images and Arabic texts of four sets of fragments (seventy-five sheets) of the Qur'an codex, once kept in the 'Amr ibn al-'As Mosque at Al-Fustat, and now in the collections of the National Library of Russia, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, The Museum of Islamic Art, Doha and the Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art. It includes an extensive introduction, the facsimile of the original, and the full text with annotations. The manuscript, copied during the first half of the 8th century and written in higazi script, contains diacritical signs for about 20% of the letters, without any signs for short vowels. It varies from today?s reference editions of the Qur'an in verse numbering and has a different orthography. Essential reading for students and scholars of the history of the Qur'an and its written transmission.00
