 * This is an undergraduate student who wrote this, but this is also one of the best summaries of the debate surrounding the Blue Quran's origins as of yet. It was also cited in either Porter or Whitfield's article/book, which adds some credibility. While undergraduate journals usually aren't reliable, I believe this article is an exception.

 * While it is frowned upon to use commerce sites, I feel like these are no less reliable than museum websites in this case. Both have catalogue notes which are well sourced and they provide information that aligns with several different theories as to the origin of the Blue Quran. Also, I use them primarily to show the price of these auctioned manuscripts.
