Al-kitab is the only Book of Allah
-
The Book of Allah is one with all prophets.in following ayat prohets are in plural and book is in singular i.e one book is revealed with all prophets
2213kaana alnnaasu ummatan waahidatan faba'atsa allaahu alnnabiyyiina mubasysyiriina wamundziriina wa-anzala ma'ahumu alkitaaba bialhaqqi liyahkuma bayna alnnaasi fiimaa ikhtalafuu fiihi wamaa ikhtalafa fiihi illaa alladziina uutuuhu min ba'di maa jaa-at-humu albayyinaatu baghyan baynahum fahadaa allaahu alladziina aamanuu limaa ikhtalafuu fiihi mina alhaqqi bi-idznihi waallaahu yahdii man yasyaau ilaa shiraathin mustaqiimin
audio (All) people are a single nation; so Allah raised prophets as bearers of good news and as warners, and He revealed with them the Book with truth, that it might judge between people in that in which they differed; and none but the very people who were given it differed about it after clear arguments had come to them, revolting among themselves; so Allah has guided by His will those who believe to the truth about which they differed and Allah guides whom He pleases to the right path.

Dont know, but yaktubu mean= writen. I guess kitab mean scripture.
walaa junaaha 'alaykum fiimaa 'arradhtum bihi min khithbati alnnisaa-i aw aknantum fii anfusikum 'alima allaahu annakum satadzkuruunahunna walaakin laa tuwaa'iduuhunna sirran illaa an taquuluu qawlan ma'ruufan walaa ta'zimuu 'uqdata alnnikaahi hattaa yablugha alkitaabu ajalahu wai'lamuu anna allaaha ya'lamu maa fii anfusikum faihtsaruuhu wai'lamuu anna allaaha ghafuurun haliimun
Quran also mean = scripture
7518 fa-idzaa qara/naahu faittabi' qur-aanahu
Where there are also another words for something that written, mushaf which is again my opinion, text scroll.
