Download or read book A Handbook of Early Arabic Kufic Script written by S. M. V. Mousavi Jazayeri and published by Blautopf Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-25 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive textbook of the early Arabic Kufic script, written as a complete reference book for calligraphers, designers, and students of art history and the history of Arabic language and scripts. This beautiful and powerful script was derived from the earlier Hijazi Mashq style of Mecca and Medina, which was invented by early Muslim scribes to record the Quran. Today, the many historical manuscripts displayed in numerous museums around the world can attest to development and evolution of this remarkable and versatile script. Authored by master calligrapher, Mousavi Jazayeri, this book is the only book written in English that is solely dedicated to the study, learning and revival of the fascinating script behind the first mature Arabic calligraphic style, which was the official script of the Islamic Near East for centuries, before being replaced by the modern Naskh style. In this handbook, Mousavi Jazayeri who had discovered the lost art of cutting the qalam (pen) for early Kufic more than twenty years ago, explains with detailed, clear illustrations how to write early Kufic using a calligraphic pen and even a regular pen. He guides students patiently through the process involved in creating amazing, modern monograms. With clear, ample examples taken from the old Quranic manuscripts, art history students, font designers, and scholars of the history of the Arabic language and scripts can use this reference book to learn the key aspects of the early Kufic script as a writing system. Mr. Mousavi Jazayeri is joined by two co-authors, Perette E. Michelli, a multi-disciplinary historian of medieval and later art, and Saad D. Abulhab, a known Arabic type designer and independent scholar of the history of Arabic language and scripts. The two co-authors are members of the first international group dedicated to the study and revival of the early Kufic script, Kuficpedia, which was formed a few years ago around the historical achievements of Mr. Mousavi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quran (Kareem) is a holy book which is the message of Allah (God) revealed for the betterment of humanity. This is the message of the same Qur'an when the world or human beings were born, but it continued to be revealed to each prophet from time to time. The Prophet faithfully conveyed the message of Allah to the human beings as per the orders of Allah, but the human beings kept cutting thorns in the holy book according to their selfishness, as a result, the human beings could not get the original (messages of Allah). After that, Allah also continued to tell his messages to the incoming prophets through the angel (Jibrail), even then the changes in the book of Allah (Tauret, Jabur, Injil and other Saheefs) continued. After that, the last book Quran Sharif (which exists till the end) on the last prophet Mohammad had to be sent (descended) for the good of mankind. Because the responsibility of this holy book has been taken by Allah Ta'ala (God) Himself. Books for familiarizing Quran (Kareem) are very few and not good in Hindi, so by the grace of Allah Ta'ala, this book has been published. Took the initiative to write. By the way, this work is very delicate, so if any mistake is found in the book, please inform as soon as possible. So that the shortcoming of the book can be removed. I have shown this book to respected Maulana Mustafa Madani Nadvi Apart from this, I have also got other Maulana checked, he agrees with this article. My first book (World's main religion, opinion and sect) and second book (which is in your hand).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique work takes a method of textual analysis commonly used in studies of ancient Western and Eastern manuscripts and applies it to twenty-one early Qur'an manuscripts. Keith Small analyzes a defined portion of text from the Qur'an with two aims in view: to recover the earliest form of text for this portion, and to trace the historical development of this portion to the current form of the text of the Qur'an. Small concludes that though a significantly early edited form of the consonantal text of the Qur'an can be recovered, its original forms of text cannot be obtained. He also documents the further editing that was required to record the Arabic text of the Qur'an in a complete phonetic script, as well as providing an explanation for much of the development of various recitation systems of the Qur'an. This controversial, thought-provoking book provides a rigorous examination into the history of the Qur'an and will be of great interest to Quranic Studies scholars.

Book excerpt: This first complete translation of Theodor Nöldeke’s The History of the Qurʾān offers a foundational work of modern Qurʾānic studies to the English-speaking public. Nöldeke’s original publication, as revised and expanded over nearly three quarters of a century by his scholarly successors, Friedrich Schwally, Gotthelf Bergsträsser and Otto Pretzl, remains an indispensable resource for any scholarly work on the text of the Qurʾān. Nöldeke’s segmentation of the surahs into three Meccan periods and a Medinan one has shaped all subsequent discussions of the chronology of the Qurʾān. The revisions and expansions of Nöldeke’s initial discussions of the orthography and variant readings of the text have found a new audience among those contemporary scholars who seek to create a more sophisticated understanding of the Qurʾān’s textual development.
