>Dr. Daniel Brubaker has carefully examined more than 10,000 pages of the earliest Quran manuscripts, most of them in person. His doctoral dissertation, "Intentional Changes in Qurʾān Manuscripts" (Rice University, 2014)... Driving Brubaker's inquiry is a curiosity about the early history of the Quran, and he is aware that the early manuscripts are witnesses to a time not easily accessed via other avenues of investigation.
Dr. Asma Hilali is known for her research on the Sanaa Palimpsest.
