- Title
A Handbook of Persian Calligraphy and Related Arts by Hamid Reza Ghelichkhani (review).
- Authors
Simpson, Marianna Shreve
- Abstract
Specialists in the Islamicate arts of the book in general, and in Persian traditions in particular, will find the Handbook of enormous value. Many lemmas are much more extensive, with multiple bullet points, and constitute richly documented essays, as in the entry for nasta'liq, under the letter . In this entry, as in many others throughout the Handbook, reference is also made to a contrasting term in calligraphy, alvat-o-jalvat, under the letter , literally meaning "expansion and contraction", "hidden and visible", and "empty and full.".
