Quranic Manuscripts with Dr. Hythem Sidky on Bottled Petrichor

Join me on this new series as I sit with experts to discuss resources, tools, and other important questions across various sub-fields in Islamic Studies. I’m joined today by Dr. Hythem Sidky, Executive Director of the International Quranic Studies Association, who will be talking to us about Quranic manuscripts. What are some important manuscript collections? How do we find and use manuscripts? What are some important scripts we see in early Quranic manuscripts? What are some important markers we see in Quranic manuscripts? How do we date manuscripts and what are some major methodological issues with various dating methods? And more! *at 1:41:23 it should be fluorescence, not x-ray diffraction Links to a few of the websites mentioned in the episode: Link to Dr. Sidky’s Academia page:
