Source-derived summary

The Algeria Quran is a Quranic manuscript (mus'haf) written in Algeria with the Naskh script, written according to the Warsh recitation in 1977 by Mohamed Cherifi.

To date, the print copy has seen three editions, the first published by the SNED, (formerly Hachette Algeria), in 1979. The Second edition (1984) was published by ENAG and the third by the EPA in 2010.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Algeria Quran” is quranic manuscript. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Algeria, Quran and quranic, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA useful identification and reception guide that helps separate the work itself from editions, performances, ownership and later interpretation. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1977, 1979, 1984, 2010—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Algeria, Quran and quranic is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “quranic manuscript” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q104879807. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1977, 1979, 1984 and 2010.

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
