Traces of the Calligrapher: Islamic Calligraphy in Practice, c. 1600–1900
In Islamic culture, calligraphy has long been considered a
quintessential art form. This beautiful writing practice constitutes an
expression of piety, and calligraphers are among the most highly
esteemed artists. Traces of the Calligrapher portrays the
intimate world of the calligrapher during the early modern period of
Islamic culture. It brings together the “tools of the trade”—works in
their own right that are rarely exhibited or published—and the exquisite
art made with these functional objects in India, Iran, and Turkey. (Yale University Press)
