SynopsisIn The Transmission of the Variant Readings of the Quran Nasser studies the canonization of the system Readings, the theories of tawatur , and the emergence of the non-canonical shawadhdh readings., This work is a study of the transmission of the variant readings of the Quran, the canonization of the system Readings, and the emergence of the non-canonical shawadhdh readings. Nasser argues that Ibn Mujahid and the early Muslim scholars viewed the variant readings as legal rulings akam and that the later generation of Qurra were responsible for moving the discipline of Qiraat from the domain of fiqh to the domain of adith. After studying the theories of tawatur in detail, Nasser shows that the transmission of the system Readings of the Quran failed to meet the conditions of tawatur set by the Uulis , thus creating a paradox between the transmission of the physical text, the muaf , and the transmission of its oral recitation, the "Quran".
