Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Abdelkebir Khatibi, Mohammed Sijelmassi; The Splendor of Islamic Calligraphy; with 232 illustrations, 98 in color; Thames and Hudson, New York, 1996. This is a revised and expanded edition of the title first published in 1976. Additional material has been included in this addition. From the blurb calligraphy, the art which combines visual image and written word, is perhaps at its most brilliant in the arts of Islam. As the authors explain, Islamic calligraphy traditionally took its inspiration from the Muslim belief in the divine origin of Arabic writing, the medium through which the Quranic revelation to the Prophet Muhammad was recorded. In early Islam the sanctity of Arabic writing was accepted among Arabs and non-Arabs alike, and its use in sacred and official texts gave rise to a wonderful profusion of scripts, and a calligraphic tradition which has flourished for over a thousand years not only in manuscript decoration but in architecture, ceramics and painting. With new chapters on the use of calligraphy in architecture and contemporary painting, this revised edition of The Splendor of Islamic Calligraphy, widely acclaimed on first publication as the most l avish and sumptuous study of its kind, provides a comprehensive and fascinating survey of the subject from its earliest origins to the present day. This large format book, 239 pages measuring 303mm X 235mm, is in fine condition in a fine dust jacket, that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. For its size, this is perhaps the heaviest book I have had, due to the use of high-quality, clay-based papers. This is truly a magnificent volume. This large and very, very heavy book will require additional postage but it is worth it.…
