Description

Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Folio. (32 x 25 cm). In English. 422 p., color ills. Ninety-nine Qur'an manuscripts from Istanbul. Translated by Irvin Cemil Schick. The art of calligraphy was born of the desire record, ornament, and protect the text of the Holy Qur'an in the most perfect form by giving Arabic letters their most beautiful shapes, and by illuminating and binding the written oages so as to grant them a worthy appearance. Among the various peoples that adopted Islam, Ottoman Turks took this mission especially to heart, developing their own particular style especially after the conquest of Istanbul, and constantly striving for perfection in the artistic rendering of every kind of script.
