364 Clare WildeBible was recognized to have circulated. For Christian sects have not agreed as to<strong>the</strong> contents of <strong>the</strong>ir sacred text and ·have accepted multiple translations of <strong>the</strong>Bible <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> languages of every nation as equally sacred representations of <strong>the</strong>· Word of God. As noted above, <strong>the</strong> normative Islamic understand<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong> Qur' l<strong>in</strong>is that one codex (<strong>the</strong> 'Uthmanic) preserves <strong>the</strong> revelation to Mul)ammad- and,while translatipns are permissible for access<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> mean<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong> text, devotionalrecitation should only be done <strong>in</strong> Arabic, <strong>the</strong> language of <strong>the</strong> revelation. 30But, despite this traditional contrast of Christian and Muslim approaches to scripture,<strong>the</strong> seem<strong>in</strong>g con:flation of biblical passages with no clear attribution <strong>in</strong> ourtwo Christian Arabic texts is still surpris<strong>in</strong>g.For example, Abii Qurra relates that Christ had no need to pray because "<strong>the</strong>Prophet says that 'all <strong>the</strong> angels and <strong>the</strong> k<strong>in</strong>gs of <strong>the</strong> earth and <strong>its</strong> governors willbow down to him, and obey him, for he rules over all and his rule will nei<strong>the</strong>rend nor will it pass away.' " 31 This resonates with Isaiah 9:6-7, Daniel 7:13-14,1 Peter 3:21-22, and Psalm ,72:10-11, but it is not an exact Biblical quotation.Similarly, Abii Qurra's discussion of <strong>the</strong> hardships oflife under Islam appears tobe a con:flation of Hebrews 12:6 and Proverbs 3:11-12: "We, <strong>the</strong> people of <strong>the</strong>religion of Christianity, He put <strong>the</strong> lash of punishment upon us. That is a benefitfor us, accord<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> reckon<strong>in</strong>g of Solomon b. David: 'Whom <strong>the</strong> lord loves, heputs to <strong>the</strong> test; He discipl<strong>in</strong>es <strong>the</strong> men with whom He is well pleased.' " 32 Likewise,<strong>the</strong> anonymous monk states that "Isaiah <strong>the</strong> prophet said that '<strong>the</strong> world willknow God when <strong>the</strong> Messiah comes and <strong>the</strong> nations will be confused, believ<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>his com<strong>in</strong>g'"- a paraphrase oflsaiah 9:6-7. 33These few passages are put forth merely as a caution that an <strong>in</strong>ability preciselyto locate a passage identified as Qur' anic by Christian Arab authors should not betaken as certa<strong>in</strong> proof of (a) a careless quotation (<strong>in</strong>tentional or o<strong>the</strong>rwise) of <strong>the</strong>'Uthmanic rasm, or (b) <strong>the</strong> existence of alternative read<strong>in</strong>gs not preserved <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>normative Islamic tradition, or even (c) a non-'Uthmanic codex (if <strong>the</strong> testimony,for example, of Theodore's near contemporary, 'Abd al-Masi1;1 al-K<strong>in</strong>di, is anaccurate <strong>in</strong>dication of <strong>the</strong> cont<strong>in</strong>ued circulation of non-'Uthmanic codices). Thus,when <strong>the</strong>re are similar difficulties <strong>in</strong> precisely locat<strong>in</strong>g Biblical and Qur'anicpassages (espeCially those whose supposed pro~enance is clearly <strong>in</strong>dicated) found<strong>in</strong> Christian Arabic texts, might not we do well to focus on <strong>the</strong> seem<strong>in</strong>g attitude,or approach, to "scripture" ("Word" and/or"book[s]" of God) on <strong>the</strong> part of Christians(and Muslims) as <strong>the</strong>y came to write <strong>in</strong> Arabic, ra<strong>the</strong>r than, or <strong>in</strong> addition to,<strong>the</strong> possible form(s) <strong>in</strong> which <strong>the</strong> Qur'an (or Bible) may have been circulat<strong>in</strong>g?30 Discussions of l<strong>in</strong>guistic excellence have, of course, not been absent from Christian discourse, 'from Isidore of Seville (d. 636 CE) to <strong>the</strong> Apocalypse of Samuel of Qalamun. See my "L<strong>in</strong>guasacra? Some reflections on Christian discussions offar;la 'if al-suryaniyya and I}Tiz al-Qur' an," <strong>in</strong>J.P.
