Eléonore Cellard is a French scholar who specializes in Arabic palaeography and codicology, particularly Quranic manuscripts.[1] She started her research on the Quran in 2008. To do so, she learned the Arabic language and studied Arabic literature. She is a post-doctoral fellow at the Collège de France.[2]
She discovered evidence of Coptic "lower text" (erased text) on a palimpsest page whose upper text was a page of an 8th century Quranic manuscript in Arabic. The Coptic writing was determined to be a portion of the biblical Book of Deuteronomy.[1]
