The Qur'an is one the most widely read books in the world. The culmination of a series of messages delivered to the prophet Muhammad over a period of more than twenty years, it served, along with other books of scripture, as a point of contact with the divine, as well as a powerful statement of political and religious identity. With this text, Keith E. Small has written a rich visual history of the Qur'an focused on more than fifty manuscripts in the collection of the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford.
