This article (re-)considers a unique Qurʾān manuscript (MS London, SOAS, 12217) in ciphered characters (Ar. al-taʿmiya), reminiscent of the ring letters of the Graeco-Egyptian tradition (Brillenbuchstaben). The case of this Qurʾān manuscript offers an opportunity to decode (Ar. istikhrāj al-muʿammà) a cryptographed text, to date and localize a very special Quranic codex, and to investigate the history of the collections it passed through, as well as the religious and cultural context of its production. Lastly, it examines the relations between Islam and magic—with which cryptography is often associated.

加密的《古兰经》:《密码》中唯一的古兰经手稿
本文(重新)考虑了一种独特的古兰经手稿(伦敦,SOAS,MS MS,12217),其密码字符为(Ar。al-taʿmiya),让人联想到古埃及埃及传统的无名氏字母(Brillenbuchstaben)。这份古兰经手抄本的案例提供了一个机会,可以解密(Ar。istikhrājal-muʿammà)加密的文本,迄今为止并定位一个非常特殊的古兰经手抄本,并调查其所通过的收藏品以及宗教的历史。及其生产的文化背景。最后,它研究了伊斯兰与魔术之间的关系,而密码学通常与之相关。
