Greater Iranian arts from the 10th to the 16th century are technically some of the finest produced anywhere. Focusing on objects found in the main media at the time, the author shows how artisans played with form, material and decoration to engage their audiences.

This stunning book is an important contribution to a key area of non-western art, being the first reference work on the art of beautiful writing in Arabic script. It includes more than 150 colour illustrations, as well as 100 black-and-white details that highlight the salient features of the individual scripts and hands.

A vital reference for everyone interested in Islamic inscriptions on buildings, objects and works of art.
