Thanks for sharing.

@Inquisitive Mind You may have also seen a great Twitter thread a few months ago where Sidky goes through reasons why these are scribal errors. An archive of the thread is linked on the Wikiislam textual history of the Quran page.

[@inquisitivemind007]

I haven't seen that. I guess if you post the link here youtube will delete as usual.

[@adamnasser2995]

Yeah, probably the only thing they'd let me link is youtube. If you Google the article name, then the link is footnote 65.

It was interesting to hear Sidky talk about his current work at 46 mins on the dottings and at the end about a very variant manuscript. Other developments over the coming year will be Marijn's new book out soon on the Quran dialect, Nasser's website listing more variant readings, and Marijn's work on the Sanaa palimpsest now that Cellard and Sidky have deciphered more of the lower text.

@@adamnasser2995 Definitely - I'm looking forward to seeing the other developments. Have you seen Marijn's thread on this kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3qVeGaqhdlrZtE

[@adamnasser2995]

Ah yes, I remember the thread. Interesting to see another religious text receive such diligent copying.
