Abstract

The survival of the codices which were transcribed by a committee under
the chairmanship of Zaid ibn-Thabit in the caliphate of Uthman ibn-Affan has been
one of the greatly interested subject matters in the history of the Qur'an text. Especially,

are the most famous ones. This article examines whether the Topkapi (Istanbul)
Codex belonged to Uthman or not by analyzing it on various grounds. Before
this analysis brief information on the number of the Uthmanic codices, on
their survival and on manuscripts existing today, in cities such as Cairo and
Samarqand is given
