Description

Arabic Calligraphy Naskh Script for Beginners by Mustafa Ja'far Learn the beauty of Arabic calligraphy with this comprehensive workbook, tracing its origins back to the late eighth century AD. Naskh, one of the six major cursive Arabic scripts, was transformed by the elegant refinements of Abbasid calligraphers and is still in use today, particularly for copying the Qur'an. This introductory guide makes it possible for everyone to learn and enjoy Arabic calligraphy, based on the author's experience of running workshops and demonstrations. With a focus on the basics, Mustafa Ja'far has distilled the fundamentals into an easy-to-follow, teach-yourself guide.
