  • Theology and Religion resources at Birmingham

    Discover a range of resources at our Main Library and Cadbury Research Library, including the Birmingham Qur’an manuscript, one of the earliest surviving fragments of the Qur’an.

While studying Qur’an and hadith literature, I had the opportunity to visit the Birmingham Qur’an manuscript at the Cadbury Research Library. This manuscript, said to date back to the 8th century CE, made me feel incredibly lucky to witness something so personal from the early years of Islam.
