Corrections & Open Review

Open to correction. Open for review.

This project earns trust the only way an evidence project can: by publishing its mistakes as prominently as its findings, and by inviting the people who know the sources best to check it — on the record.

Found something wrong — a miscited source, a bad count, a mislabelled folio, a provenance grade you'd contest? Tell us. Every substantive fix is logged below with the date and what changed. Nothing here is above scrutiny.

How review works

  1. Anyone can flag an error. Scholars, students, or readers — write in with the claim, the correction, and a source if you have one.
  2. We verify against the primary source and, where it stands, fix it in the atlas and record it in the log below — crediting the reporter unless they ask otherwise.
  3. Named reviewers for the readings, the ʿadad literature, the rasm and the manuscripts are credited here by name as they join. Reviewer sign-off is tracked per domain; every reviewer's remit and any dissent is public.
  4. Where scholars disagree, we record the disagreement as data rather than resolving it — the correction log notes the dispute, not a verdict.

The retraction that started this project

QuranRecords grew out of the 74:30 Project, which tested a 19-based numerical claim and, after an adversarial audit it imposed on itself, published a full retraction: the documented counting variables are too many for any single construction to prove. That retraction is the founding entry of this log — the standard everything else is held to.

Manuscript folio alignments corrected to source

While aligning each manuscript folio to its exact verses, the Metropolitan Museum "Blue Qurʾān" folio (acc. 2004.88) was verified to carry Sūrat al-Rūm 30:28–32 (not al-Baqara, as a first pass had assumed); Birmingham (Mingana 1572a) confirmed as Q18:17–31, 19:91–98 and 20:1–40; Parisino-petropolitanus as Q2:275–72:2. Corrected against the holding institutions' own records before publishing.

The log is open

No other corrections are outstanding at time of writing. When one is reported and verified, it appears here — additions never overwrite the record, so the history of what changed stays legible.

Open call for reviewers

If you can read the classical tables and want to hold this work to account, the atlas credits your review by name. We are actively seeking reviewers in:

Qirāʾāt & the riwāyāt ʿAdad al-āy (verse counting) Rasm & orthography Early manuscripts & palaeography Digital text & encoding

Get in touch with the domain you'd review, and how you'd like to be credited. Corrections and reviews are equally welcome from outside any institution — the only currency here is the source.
