Abstract

Studying the Arabic language since its earliest stages of development requires answering various questions, most importantly concerning the sources that researchers can rely on for their studies. In this field, we can only examine the oldest surviving written texts that have reached us in their original form. Not all works that were documented have survived intact; often, we only have later accounts from periods long after their authors' lifetimes.

The oldest text compiled in book form, undoubtedly, is the Holy Quran. Simon Hopkins, the Orientalist, previously compiled a list over twenty years ago in his book on Ancient Arabic, based on parchment manuscripts dating back to before the 3rd century AH (early 9th century CE). These references include the Quran, pre-Islamic poetry, Hadith (Prophetic traditions), biographies, various letters, and narrative literature from the days of the Arabs.
