inlibration

noun

  1. The fact of God's being invested in a book (the Qur'an), as opposed to in flesh as held by Christianity.

    uncountable

    Consequently, […] the question arises in our mind whether […] there was not also in Islam a controversy over the inlibration, that is, the embookment, of the pre-existing Koran in the revealed Koran and also over the problem of whether the revealed Koran had two natures, a divine and a man-made, or only one nature, a man-made nature.

Where it comes from

Coined by Harry A Wolfson (1887–1974) on the model of incarnation, from in- + inflected stem of Latin liber (“book”) + -ation.
