The seminar presents the case of a previously unknown and fragmentary manuscript in Arabic attributed to a rather prominent scholar, Sufyān al-Thawrī (d. 171 AH/778 CE), who was active in the second century of Islam. The manuscript contained a partial commentary on some Qurʾānic verses. The research shows how establishing the origins of this document and determining the character of the text, using textual-historical methods, help us reconstruct what the Qurʾānic commentary might have looked like beyond the recorded contents of the text.

In rural Pakistan, only 27% of Grade 3 children can read a sentence in a local language, and less than 22% can perform simple arithmetic operations (ASER, 2020). Low average learning and high learning inequality have a fortiori worsened with COVID-19-related school closures that have disrupted the education of 1.2 billion children globally (Azevedo, 2020; Kaffenberger, 2020).
