Efim A. Rezvan

I intended to para­phrase the good points and correct the bad ones in Efim A.Rezvan's "A History of Printed Edi­tions of the Qur’an" in The Oxford Handbook of QUR­’ANIC STU­DIES.
Unfortunate­ly the first part is about manu­scripts and other non-print matters.
The part about the St.Pe­ters­burg and Kazan Qurʾāns is fine ‒ but not new.
The section on prints after Kazan (pp 268-270) is all wrong, not worth a critique.
