The word Quran (1N77) in medieval judeo-Arabic manuscripts usually means the same thing as the Hebrew word Miqra' (N7770): Bible.In this Judeo-Arabic manuscript about the birth of Moses, the 12th-century Spanish poet Moshe Ibn 'Ezra uses the plural "qur'anãt" (MNIN77 - circled at left) to refer to prophetic books in general and"the great Quran" (DOUNN 1N777N - circled at right) to refer to the Torah. The verb root common to both "Qur'an" and "Miqra" is N777, which connotes reading in Hebrew and reading or recitation in Arabic. Via Naji S. Ali-Adeeb
