TWO STAGES OF ABRAHAAM/IBRAHEEM.
-
Salaam,
-This particular spelling of the word Ibraheem without (ya) in chapter 2 is the case in the " Hafs reading (qira'at Hafs)". (the majority of muslims 95 % follow this recitation)
- In the " Warsh reading (qira'at Warsh)", the word Ibraheem is spelled with (ya) in all occurrences. (About 3 %of muslims follow this recitation)
Some opinions about the qira'at (reading, recitation)
http//quransmessage.com/articles/seven%20readings%20FM3.htm
https//www.islamic-awareness.org/quran/text/qiraat/hafs.htmlWarsh recitation with English translation
http//www.quranflash.com/books/Warsh1/?en#sthash.aRVhBOGN.SctN6kSh.dpbs- This manuscript shows more resemblance with the Warsh reading (qira'at Warsh)",
I have verified the spelling of some words in this manuscript which are different between Warsh and Hafs.
Peace -- not sure when Warsh/Hafs (7) revelations absurdness started and trust the oldest.
99.99999% of majority is clueless e.g. meaning of kalala or son/s get 2x the daughter, etc.

Salaam,
This is a part of your post from
https//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9610157.msg424062#msg424062... likewise Abraham consistently spelled in every chapter then ~100-150 years later there was a revision, numerous alif's added, verses rearranged, etc.
Peace Noon,
In this manuscript( arabe331) and before what you call " ...~100-150 years later... "
the name Abraham is spelled without the letter "ya " in chapter 2 in 12 occurrences and in one occurrence Abraham with "ya "In other chapters the name Abraham is spelled with the letter "ya " in 3 occurrences and without the letter "ya " in 2 occurrences
The rest of the manuscript ( Marcel 3, A 6959 + A 6990, E16264 R) is not available online(afaik) to verify the other occurrences of the name Abraham, and (Ms. Leiden Or. 14.545b + Or. 14.545c) don't contain the name Abraham.
More information about this manuscript
Date
1st century of hijra.
Noseda included this manuscript in his table of hijz manuscripts from 1st century hijra. Giving information about a hijz manuscript kept at the Universiteitsbibliothek Leida (i.e., University Library, Lieden), he does not mark any dash to indicate the contents of the manuscript. One may surmise that perhaps Noseda had only limited information concerning this manuscript at the time of writing and made note of the existence of the manuscript. However, it was Nabia Abbott in 1939, who first classified two folios from this codex at the Oriental Institute, Chicago, to be from 1st/2nd century AH.
Originally believed to date from the latter part of the eight century, the folio of MS Leiden Or. 14.545b has now been subject to radiocarbon analysis under the auspices of the Corpus Coranicum project and has been dated to 652-763 CE with 95.4% probability, with that range being broken down into a 89.3% probability that it dates to between 652 and 694 CE and a 6.1% probability that it dates to between 747 and 763 CE.
Size & Folios
41.3 cm x 34.8 cm. There are 19 lines per page. Manuscript on parchment.
This manuscript has 87 folios = 56 (Arabe 331, Biblioth?que Nationale, Paris) + 26 (Marcel 3, National Library of Russia, St. Petersburg) + 2 (Ms. Leiden Or. 14.545b + Or. 14.545c, University Library, Leiden) + 2 (A 6959 + A 6990, Oriental Institute, Chicago) + 1 (E16264 R, University of Pennsylvania Museum). The extant folios contain ~28.5% of the text of the Qur'an.

Topic is about the spelling of the name "Abraham" in chapter 2.
The manuscript you posted does not contain chapter 2.[peace -- already posted ch 2 older manuscripts and you posted other chapters, therefore.
-
Salaam,
not oldest makes no difference if spelled with/without ya or written in English.
Peace Noon,
Oldest, older continuously changing your definition of oldest.
I think it is not wise / prudent to rule out that the particular spelling of certain words in the Quran is part of revelation and has purposes and meanings we don't know yet.
Example when the scribes were writing this 961
They must have had instructions, a source, otherwise why would they write
bismi allah without Alif and bismi rabbika with Alif
The spelling of the name Abraham without the letter "ya
in chapter 2, and Abraham with the letter "ya " in the rest of the Quran seems intended and for a reason.It is more likely that original was spelled without "ya " in chapter 2 and with "ya " in the 24 other chapters, and that some scribes added the letter "ya " in chapter 2 to conform to the rest of the manuscript, "thinking they were correcting an error" of previous scribes, while this particular spelling seems intended.
In some "oldest manuscripts" with "ya "and in others whithout "ya " in chapter 2.peace -- already posted ch 2 older manuscripts and you posted other chapters, therefore.
First you post this manuscript carbon dating 662-765, 2 (95,4%)
Peace, in oldest manuscripts spelled same with (ya) e.g. 22603 Ibrahim
https//corpuscoranicum.de/handschriften/index/sure/2/vers/260?handschrift=163
https//s15.postimg.cc/7wg2beth7/ch2v259-266-2.jpg
Then this manuscript date 700-1000
Peace, is this about numerology why in oldest manuscripts it's spelled the same?
https//corpuscoranicum.de/handschriften/index/sure/2/vers/260?handschrift=878
https//s15.postimg.cc/55kokatrf/ch2v259-261.jpg
And this manuscriptdate 2nd century
They did it 100+ years later; how many examples old manuscripts do you need -- one should suffice?
Sana manuscript 2nd century!

Oldest, older continuously changing your definition of oldest.
peace -- simple definition (specific age) e.g. manuscript is older than another manuscript.
They must have had instructions, a source, otherwise why would they write
off topic, perhaps open a separate topic on word to peruse.
First you post this manuscript carbon dating ? 662-765, 2 (95,4%)

Then you post (links to) manuscripts that don't contain chapter 2, not sure what you want to prove by this.

that is how you confuse people by sandwiching example which does not contain chapter 2.
Confusion is when you post 3 manuscripts that do not contain chapter 2.
conclusion few examples written with/without ya should suffice that it was not a big deal.
If the particular spelling of the name Abraham in chapter 2 is part of revelation and preserved in the current hafs manuscript, then it has a purpose, and this purpose would be lost if the letter ya was added.
