The finest examples of this distinctive Islamic art form ever
published. Within three centuries of its advent, Islam had produced
an architecture and a calligraphic art, including that of
illumination, that have seldom been equaled and never surpassed,
the one centered on the Mosque and the other on the Qur'an. But
whereas Islamic architecture is world famous, its calligraphic art
has remained relatively unknown and inaccessible. Black-and-white
photographs of the art of calligraphy are plentiful, but a page of
script, impressive though it can be in black and white, loses much
without the tints of the paper and the ink. "Splendours of Qur'an
Calligraphy and Illumination" reproduces the formal excellence of
colors and texture that distinguish these artistic masterpieces. In
all, 180 openings are displayed, carefully chosen from the greatest
collections of Qur'an manuscripts in the world. 180 color large
illustrations.
