What is it about?
Raymond K. Farrin's article takes up the view that the Qurʾān was left incomplete as a book and did not take final shape until well after the Prophet’s death. It considers whether this may be deemed valid upon analysis of a type of structural binding occurring in the text. Keywords: Qurʾānic composition, Center-periphery connection, Codex Parisino-petropolitanus, Ṣanʿāʾ palimpsest, ʿUthmānic commission
