by Alain George (Author)
The birth of Qur'anic calligraphy was a major event in the early history of Islam. In a few decades, it raised the Arabs and their language from the remote fringes of the civilised world to its very heart. This book brings together manuscript, mosaic, and text to reveal the evolution of Arabic calligraphy.
