La traduction du Coran faite par le grand orientaliste et drogman d’origine hongroise Albert Félix Ignace de Biberstein Kasimirski (1808-1887),... également auteur de ce qui est sans doute le meilleur dictionnaire arabe-français, est une des plus lisibles en français tant sa langue est accessible. Les notes elles-mêmes, sans érudition insurmontable, sont éclairantes et pédagogiques.M. A. Amir-Moezzi, en exégète confirmé de ce texte de portée universelle qui reste mal connu, et qui fait l''objet de débats d''interprétation trouvant pour beaucoup leur source dans l''ignorance de l''histoire même de sa mise par écrit, offre une synthèse des différents aspects de celle-ci. Alors que les recherches et débats sur l’histoire de la rédaction du Coran sont restés cantonnés dans les milieux académiques, il présente au public non spécialisé les interrogations, zones d’ombre et énigmes qui la ponctuent, faisant notamment le point sur les découvertes de nouveaux manuscrits et de sources islamiques donnant des informations éclairantes. Il met également en perspective le texte coranique dans le paysage religieux des premiers temps de l’islam, qui a été le théâtre de multiples discussions et polémiques, controverses illustrant une pluralité de points de vue que l’orthodoxie postérieure s’est efforcée d’occulter.
