What was the Qur'an, and what did it intend by \"in the tongue of the Arabs\"? In the first century of the Mhaggr y , these \"emigrants\" into the Near East debated the very meaning of their faith. The essays in this book describe the world of the Arabs and their Qur'an. This was a different world than the world which the S ra describes. In this world, Medina was one of several centers in Arabian culture, and Mecca was known only to traders in leather. The \"Arab\" was a Bedouin poet, and his \"Qur'an\" was a verse recital - not always religious in origin. The Marw nid amirs chose from all the qur'ans and from them built a written collection: \"the Furq n\". Even after that, the Arab poets continued to compose verse Qur'ans, sometimes in reaction to the Furq n.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David R.
