Video Description (from Youtube)
Dr Dan Brubaker breaks down the extensive issues with the Mashhad codex, demonstrating its extensive later interventions, such as: erased text, overwriting in a different script, added folios, and
re-binding, meaning what we see now is not the pristine original production.

A codex is a book constructed of a number of sheets of paper, vellum, papyrus, or similar materials. The term is now usually only used of manuscript books, with hand-written contents, but describes the format that is now near-universal for printed books in the Western world.
Early Quran refers to the initial transmission, oral recitation, and textual compilation of the Islamic holy text. This compilation was during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad and the immediate decades following his death in 632 AD.
Daniel Brubaker is a postdoctoral researcher studying early Quran manuscripts. He considers these as material objects and witnesses to the text and its community in the time of Muhammad and the earliest centuries following his death. Brubaker's doctoral dissertation centered on scribal corrections
in Quran manuscripts of the first three Hijri centuries. He received his PhD from Rice University in 2014.
