O obrazu
Thirteen lines of muhaqqaq script occupy this fourteenth-century Leaf from a Qur’an, made in Mamluk Cairo and now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Muhaqqaq is one of six principal Arabic calligraphic scripts. Revelation in Arabic to Muhammad during the seventh century gave calligraphy an elevated position in Islamic art. Its role was nevertheless wider than copying sacred books: inscriptions also appeared on objects made for secular use. The same written art could thus decorate everyday settings as well as transmit the Qur’an.
Slovy muzea
It is through the Arabic language that the Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in the 600s. As a result, calligraphy is celebrated as the highest form in Islamic art. This page shows 13 lines from the Qur’an in muhaqqa script, one of the six main script types of Arabic calligraphy. The Qur’an’s importance explains the significance of calligraphy; however, the latter was not restricted to just religious texts. Many objects in the Islamic art gallery bear calligraphic inscriptions and come from secular contexts, displaying the versatility and creativity of this art form.
