Text of Note

"How did Islam's sacred scripture, the Arabic Qurʼān, emerge from western Arabia at a time when the region was religiously fragmented and lacked a clearly established tradition of writing to render the Arabic language? The studies in this volume, the proceedings of a scholarly conference, address different aspects of this question. They include discussions of the religious concepts found in Arabia in the centuries preceding the rise of Islam, which reflect the presence of polytheism and of several varieties of monotheism including Judaism and Christianity. Also discussed at length are the complexities surrounding the way languages of the Arabian Peninsula were written in the centuries before and after the rise of Islam--including Nabataean and various North Arabian dialects of Semitic--and the gradual emergence of the now-familiar Arabic script from the Nabataean script originally intended to render a dialect of Aramaic. The religious implications of inscriptions from the pre-Islamic and early Islamic centuries receive careful scrutiny. The early coalescence of the Qurʼān, the kind of information it contains on Christianity and other religions that formed part of the environment in which it first appeared, the development of several key Qurʼānic concepts, and the changing meaning of certain terms used in the Qurʼān also form part of this rich volume"--
