This reference book studies the script, art, and culture of the
early Arabic Kufic calligraphy. It presents around hundred
historical stone inscriptions, coins, and manuscripts from
early-Islamic Persia. In their book, the primary author and famed
Iranian early Kufic expert and calligrapher, S.M.V. Mousavi
Jazayeri, and his fellow co-authors read and analyze with
meticulous detail the calligraphy, script, and art work of
thirty-seven Kufic gravestone inscriptions, mainly from the Yazd
providence of Iran. The carefully-selected inscriptional sample in
this book illustrates the remarkable power and versatility of this
early script, and the extent of the global role played by it in
shaping societies and cultures of a vast area extending from China
to Spain.
