Arabic Calligraphy

A coffee table book on the history and application of Arabic Calligraphy. This book examines the history of Arabic calligraphy and its influence on the cultural and artistic heritage of the Middle East. Calligraphy means ‘beautiful writing’ in Greek and regardless of whether the work is a Qur’anic manuscript or a magnificently executed proverb, this unique combination of literature and fine art is certainly one of the most profound and inspiring art forms.
