Marijn van Putten: Qur'anic Arabic, the Canonical Reading Traditions, and Arabic Linguistics

In this video I have the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Marijn van Putten and discuss his recent book on Qur'anic Arabic. Dr. van Putten is a researcher at the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics and specializes in the liguistic and textual history of the Qur'an. He has published on textual criticism of the Qur'an, the linguistic history of the Arabic of the canonical reading traditions, as well as the Berber languages. Dr. van Putten obtained his Ph.D. in Berber Linguistics from Leiden University and has published extensively on Berber as well as Arabic and other languages. Dr. van Putten is the recipient of European Research Council Consolidator Grant which will fund his project "QurCan: The Canonisation of the Quranic Reading Traditions". This project is researching the recitation of the Quran in the early Islamic period. The QurCan project will turn to the hundreds of Quranic manuscripts from before the tenth century, thus uncovering the lost history of Quranic recitation in the early Islamic period.
