Reviews

“François Déroche […] ouvre la voie à une compréhension plus fine avec cette étude, première de son genre, appuyée sur un document signicatif, des premiers temps de l’islam et de l’évolution du Coran au cours de cette période.”
Alexandra Ath. Photopoulou, Journal of Oriental and African Studies, 2010-2.

"In this important work, François Déroche undertakes a masterly analysis - careful, meticulous, and exhaustive - of what he calls the Codex Parisino-petropolitanus [...] In this pathbreaking work, Déroche has set the bar very high", David S. Powers, Islamic Law and Society Volume 18, No. 2, 2011.

“… a most significant advance in the study of early Qurʾanic manuscripts, which, though obviously crucial for the historiography of early Islam, remains so far an under-researched field.”
Emmanuelle Stefanidis, in Speculum. A Journal of Medieval Studies 86.3 (2011), 740-741.
