Quranic 9th-century manuscript page, surah 2:175-76 and 2:176-77

Corpus Coranicum is a digital research project of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

The project makes sources accessible that are relevant for the history of the Quran. These primary texts include Jewish, Christian, and other textual remains from the world of Quran. To trace its oral and written transmission further, early manuscripts of the Quran are being catalogued and made available through the project’s database. A literary commentary on the Quranic text completes the project.^[1]

Begun in 2007, the initial three-year database project is headed by two project leaders: Senior Professor of Arabic Studies Angelika Neuwirth (Freie Universität Berlin) is responsible for the commentary. The research centre is managed by Michael Marx, who is editor-in-chief of the "environmental texts" and the text documentation.^[2] The project is currently funded till 2024, but could take longer to complete.^[3]
