OK found a link. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asi...ic/4581684.stm

The oldest Qu'ran is in Tashkent, and was written in the 7th century - 651 AD.

According to the article, this was 19 years after Mohammed's (pbuh) death in 632 AD.

Uzbekistan is a dangerous place these days, but I would love to go and see that book.

Yes, I believe so. Indeed, IIRC it is an act of blasphemy to change the wording of the Qu'ran.

Translations into other languages are allowed, but they may not be used for reference in theological discussion. If one wishes to be taken seriously in a discussion of Islam, one has to read Arabic.
