"̀This book rises to the challenge of a grand theme-how did the early Muslims develop a fitting script and presentation for the word of God? George presents, in lucid expository prose, bold but convincing answers to the many questions posed by this scattered and fragmentary material, especially on matters of date and provenance. An unerring sense of the bigger picture complements his mastery of detail and of earlier scholarship. This promises to be a classic.' Professor Robert Hillenbrand, University of Edinburgh and British Academy" "̀Charting the rise and demise of the angular scripts used in the first centuries of Islam, this is an exciting new contribution to the fields of early Islamic studies and art history.' Professor Sheila Blair, Boston College and Virginia Commonwealth University Qatar" "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." "Alain George brings together manuscripts, material culture and texts to reveal the evolution of Arabic calligraphy from its pre-Islamic conception through the energence of the modern styles of writing still in use today." "The Rise of Islamic Calligraphy explores the resonance of the Ancient notion of proportion in Arabic script and breaks new ground in our understanding of a crucially important body of material: the earliest manuscripts of the Quran" "Alain George highights the historical context of early Arabic calligraphy and its relationship to the emerging civilisation of Islam, showing how a craft based on pen, parchment and ink came to convey the divine character of the Qur' anic text." "Beautifully illustrated, this is an essential reference work for students and connoisseurs of calligraphy alike."--BOOK JACKET.… (más)
