Islamic Calligraphy (Mohammed Zakariya/National Library of Medicine, 1994)

[@michelemurphy3541]

I wanted to learn this form of calligraphy script since the 80’s. It has always fascinated me.
Ironic the old Islamic avoidance of human/art~but the calligraphy scripting on these books and more as well as Mosques, is totally A R T in every sense and definition of art. ✨
Ps. A true Artist and Craftsman. Absolutely Exquisite! I looked up more videos and websites featuring him and am completely hooked on the art of this gorgeous calligraphy. Outstanding!

Can you show this a little clear so we can magpie it

[@sniperrana]

which paper he used?

[@danishalhasan4393]

ahar paper, most likely

[@maskerjr]

Ahar paper, or in different regions it is called muqahhar. A type of milled paper specialized for arabic calligraphy

[@shahino4426]

For what is the magnesiumcarbonate. Does anyone know?

[@ahmed_ramzi98]

The paper after being dyed and processed can't hold the ink, the Mg carbonate is used to connect the ink to the paper

[@maskerjr]

Sometimes the paper wont accept the ink, so magnesium carbonate, or baby powder can be used as a substitute, is spread around the paper. This method only works for ahar paper (milled paper specialized for arabic/islamic calligraphy)

[@kmeccat]

This is somehow about medicine?

[@eras2730]

It gives you some kind of sense of how historic Arabic medical manuscripts were written

[@tarihikaydet]

It is an activity therapy also for any type op psycological disorder.
