Delicate, subtle colors have been painstakingly reproduced onto vellum-like paper, while the facsimile includes Michelle Brown’s full transcript and translation of the text, as well as a commentary based on her unrivalled knowledge of the period.

We are delighted to be able to offer you this very special volume, with a limited-time very special offer price to match. For more information and to place your order, click here.

The Quran

Alan Joness much-anticipated translation of The Quran is finally here!

The result of decades of study, this translation is unique in that it gives special thought to what the text would have meant to those who originally heard it. The traditional verse structure has been maintained, and where necessary, verses have been further divided into sections to indicate where there are natural points for pause, and to emphasize the original oral nature of the text. This is the first translation of The Quran to adopt such an approach, and one of many features that make it a natural choice for textbook use.
