Extraits (Introduction)
"Two tranmissions of the Qur’ân can be found in printed copies today. One stems from Kufa and the other from Medina. They are more commonly called by the names of their respective second-century transmitters, Hafs and Wars. This thesis examines the relationship between these two transmissions, as exemplified in the first five suras. (p. 7)
