Abstract

This project will bring to light some of the textual and calligraphic aspects of a 1698 manuscript of the Qur'an owned by Seton Hall University. The main objective of the project is to decipher the Arabic marginalia through crowdsourcing, to compose a narrative of the journey that this Qur'an made from its initial ownership by a student at Princeton University in 1893, to its arrival at Seton Hall University, and ultimately, through this project, to make the manuscript available to our students and scholars worldwide.
