Book Info :

Publisher : IRCICA

Pages : 282 pages
ISBN : 92-9063-074-4
Review :
This is a giant book measuring 17" x 12" x 1" as well as one of the most important books for calligraphy lover & collector. This book explains in brief about the development of calligraphy techniques during Ottoman period. Almost 80% of the content filled with beautiful & colorful pictures of calligraphy works of Ottoman calligraphers. However I am more intersted with the pictures of Ottoman Quranic pages. Useful for my reference. I purchased this book in Istanbul in 2007 for USD195.
