In this highly original publication, Dr Heba Nayel Barakat explores the brilliance of Persian single folios. These works from the 16th to the 19th centuries are among the finest achievements of Islamic civilisation, and yet have received little attention from scholars or publishers. Accompanying an exhibition of the same name, this book examines more than just the beauty of these calligraphic masterpieces in the collection of the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia. The author also brings to life the rhythmic quality of the folios. New light is shed on a field that is both fascinating and mysterious.
