Who Wrote (Down) the Quran?
is the question that five Islamic scholars will attempt to answer at a

will consider the physical process of collecting, writing and canonizing
the earliest versions of the Quran, considered by Muslims to be
the revealed word of God. Free, preregistration required: humanities@sas.upenn.edu
or 215-898-8220.
