That blue and gold copy looks wonderful! I can only imagine how eye-catching that would've been to see in someone's book collection. Also that blue bible, which was a neat side note to learn about.

The aqquyunlu Quran looks absolutely incredible what a tremendous work of art wow.

2:37 I'm proud to say that I just saw the Samarkand Manuscript today, with my own eyes. And if I hadn't seen this video before, I wouldn't have understood the real importance of that relic. Thanks for this video, and hello from Uzbekistan!

I don't know about others, but in Indonesia, all those memorized Qur'an spend 2 hours reciting 2 out of 30 juz(partition of the quran) everyday as to preserve their
memorization.
That's excluding recitation in main and supplicant prayer.

[MrZiZoo]

It's an amazing feeling that I can read the oldest copy of the Quran!

[schlurpie]

i saw some qur'an manuscripts in the louvre abu dhabi and they're works of art!

[DeanFirth]

Love this channel. Such even handed and well thought out laying out of the facts.

[giordy]

I really love this series, keep going, it's so interesting, more in depth video would be awesome

[gideonjudges]

Never expected the name of Alphonse Mingana to come up! For the Syriac/Chaldean traditions of Catholicism, he was responsible for translating some of the works of one of the Syriac Fathers--Mar Theodore of Mopsuestia--into English (his writings were often overlooked because of Justinian and Constantinople II...)

Will have to read more about him!

[martialofficial]

No single words difference in those oldest Quran to now. 😮

[LetsBeClear]

Thank you for this enlightening presentation. Amazing as always

[royssche]

as a muslim child i used to memorize the Short Verses of the Quran far before i start to learn about arabic Scripts. And that's how Quran transmitted from generation to generation

[curtisdaniel]

As usual, you have presented a Fascinating Subject in a well done format. Thank You for this. I am always interested In learning more about how humanity 's various documents, books, religious texts, et cetera came to us.

[muntekald]

Quran comes to us unchanged by memorization not necessarily a book copy. Allah preserves in the hearts of believers, that’s why there is only one copy of the Quran.

[blue_cheese]

It's astonishing that the quran was memorized by heart by thousands of man improving its preservation

[Stoneworks]

The Quran is one of the most beautiful religious texts I've ever read, so glad yall made this video exploring its history!!

[FrancescoCostaMerlara]

About translations, there is also an italian "translation" made in northern Italy in 1547, called "L'Alcorano di Macometto".

considering how difficult dye was to acquire and use in the pre-industrial world the blue quran was probably the most ornate and luxurious text that existed in that part of the world when it was made.
