Clerk errors problem in mushaf spelling

In this study, which is about the spelling in the mushafs that emerged as a result of the copying of the Holy Quran during the period of Hz. Osman (ra), examples of words that do not comply with the analogous spelling are examined. The main purpose of this study is to prove the fact that the different spellings in the Ottoman official manuscript are not the result of the mistakes of the scribes in the copying committee, but rather sensitive choices based on knowledge. In the first part of this study, which consists of three main parts, information is given about the knowledge of the Arabs about writing, the spelling types that exist in the Arabic script and the characteristics of Resm-i Osmânî. In the second part, which deals with the writing of the Quranic verses from the time of the Prophet to the time of Hz. Osman, the discussions about the spelling of the Mushaf and the reasons for its emergence are emphasized. In the third part, where the main theme of the study is discussed, the words written differently in the Mushaf spelling are evaluated within the framework of the Official Ottoman rules or independently and then an attempt is made to prove the proposition that there is no error in the spelling of these words. At the end of our study, it was concluded that the different spellings in the Ottoman official text were not due to the errors of the scribes, but rather to the effort to prevent confusion arising from the transfer of some features of the Arabic language to writing and the lack of dots and vowels in this writing.
