The Thaalibia Quran is a mushaf (Quranic manuscript) written in Algeria in the Maghrebi script.[1][2]
The transcription of this mushaf was done in accordance with the Warsh recitation, which is the main canonical qirāʼah, or method of reciting the Qur'an, practiced in North Africa.[3]
Since 1895, the two brothers Kaddour Rodosi and Ali Rodosi made this initiative to publish a Warsh mushaf through their publishing house, Thaalibia Publishing.[4][5]
The printed copy of this Quran Mus'haf followed several editions.[6]
The 1905 edition Mus'haf was first published by the Thaalibia Publishing in 1905 in a full version.[7] The manuscript was written by Ahmed Mansali.[8]
The 1907 edition was edited by the same publisher.[9][10] The manuscript of this edition of the Mus'haf was written by Omar Racim (1884–1959).[11][12]
The manuscript of 1912 edition was written by Mohamed Cherradi,[13] who was also responsible for the 1931 edition.[14][15] and 1937 edition.[16][17]
The 1937 Mus'haf was also divided in four quarters printed separately:
The Thaalibia Quran was reproduced by independent Algeria from 1962 until 1971 in a full version.[19]
The idea of realizing the Algeria Quran was then born and concretised in 1979 with the participation of the illustrator Mohamed Cherifi.[20]
