The Silent Quran and the Speaking Quran
Book •
Mohammad Amir Moezi's work explores Shiʿi conceptions of the Quran, contrasting the 'silent' (esoteric) and 'speaking' (exoteric) aspects as understood in certain traditions.
He examines claims about alternate recensions, Ali's alleged codex, and how interpretive authority vested in the Imams shaped Shiʿi hermeneutics.
The book investigates manuscript evidence, later Shiʿi writings, and polemical narratives about textual transmission and authority.
It situates these debates within broader disputes over succession and legitimacy in early Islam.
Moezi's study is used in scholarship to understand how theological claims intersect with historical contestation over the Quran's transmission.
