The Publisher and not the author Book HOW TO READ ISLAMIC CALLIGRAPHY By Maryam D Ekhtiar .
I like reading books
or centuries, Islamic calligraphy has mesmerized viewers with its
beauty, sophistication, and seemingly endless variety of styles.
How to Read Islamic Calligraphy offers new perspectives on this
distinctive art form, using examples from The Met’s superlative
collections to explore the enduring preeminence of the written word
as a means of creative expression throughout the Islamic world.
Combining engaging, accessible texts with stunning new pho
tography, I low to Read Islamic Calligraphy introduces readers to the
major Islamic script types and explains the various contexts, whether
secular or sacred, in which each one came to be used. Beauty and
brilliance emerge in equal measure from works of every medium,
from lavishly illuminated Qur’an manuscripts, to glassware etched
with poetic verses, to ceramic tiles brushed with benedictions. The sheer breadth of objects illustrated in these pages exemplifies the ubiq
uity of calligraphy in the arts of Islam and the vitality of its role in
Islamic culture.
