BLThe most comprehensive study yet of the ancient art of Islamic calligraphyThe Nasser D. Khalili Collection holds examples of Islamic calligraphy that span six centuries and demonstrate the continuity of this central art form into the modern era. The holdings - nearly 300 in total - include exceptional items that feature the work of many of the most famous master calligraphers, including Seyh Hamdullah and Hafiz Osman. The author discusses items from the Collection under nine headings that exemplify the variety of the artform and the discipline required to master it: mufradat (exercises from the calligraphic curriculum); muraqqa`at (collections of calligraphic samples); and hilyahs (treatments of the description of the Prophet) form the major sections, and there are studies of ijazahs (certificates of competence in the art), karalama (rough copy work), decoupage (cut work), kalib-making (stencilled reproductions), the miniature ghubar script, and leaf gilding.
