From an anthropological point of view, the elaboration of identity mechanisms (rooted in monuments and landscapes) can be deconstructed in order to understand the impact of cultural heritage upon inhabitants. This study, based on the French city of Grasse (French Riviera), demonstrates how cultural heritage is used in the creation of local identity and how it can impact social, cultural, economical and political fields. Cultural heritage is used here to understand identity strategies. It is established as a point of reference and a local marker. It legitimizes social order and validates local identity. This situation is not an exception in the area, and these cultural constructions can be seen in others touristic cities on the French Riviera.

The study addresses the question of the historicity of the Qur´ān, the central religious text of Islam, and provides an overview of important Islamic and Western views on its formation, notation, and the specifics of oral transmission. To this end, it reflects on traditional Muslim discourse and draws primarily on the classical works of Muslim authors, which refer to important stages in the development of the sacred Scripture. It also points to some of the perspectives and approaches of Western scientists, who have entered the debate on the historicity and authenticity of the text more significantly, especially since the nineteenth century. It focuses on newer methods of research that analyze preserved manuscripts through modern technologies and thus shed light on the circumstances of the origin of the text, which according to tradition was formed from the early beginning of the seventh centu- ry AD.
