Summary "In The Second Canonization of the Qurʼān, Nasser studies the transmission and reception of the Qurʼānic text and its variant readings through the work of Ibn Mujāhid (d. 324/936), the founder of the system of the Seven Eponymous Readings of the Qurʼān. The overarching project aims to track and study the scrupulous revisions the Qurʼān underwent, in its recited, oral form, through the 1,400-year journey towards a final, static, and systematized text. For the very first time, the book offers a complete and detailed documentation of all the variant readings of the Qurʼān as recorded by Ibn Mujāhid. A comprehensive audio recording accompanies the book, with more than 5,000 audio files of Qurʼānic recitations of variant readings." -- Publisher, page four of cover
