الخط الحيري المسيحي في القرون السادس والسابع والثامن الميلادية وأثره في صدر الإسام
أغفل الباحثون العرب والمسلمون مسألة إبراز الخط الحيري مقارنة بالخط الكوفي؛ فيما تؤكد الأدلة المادية والمرويات المكتوبة أن الخط العربي أُنتج في الحيرة رسماً ومضموناً وأنه انتقل بفضل أبنائها من التجار والقساوسة وكذلك الرهبان في صحراء شمال الجزيرة العربية ومدنها (دومة الجندل وتبوك وتيماء ويثرب ومكة). وإن أسماء الكتَّاب قبيل وأثناء عصر النبوة لتشير أنهم كانوا في غالبيتهم العظمى من بني أمية في مكة، ممن زاروا بلاط ملوك الحيرة أو ممن كان لهم تواصل مباشر مع من زار الحيرة وتعلم الخط فيها. وإن تاريخ مدينتي الحيرة والكوفة ليشهد على أقدمية الخط الحيري على الخط الكوفي التي يتضح أنه ليس سوى تطور عن الأول.
Arab researchers have often neglected the ḥīrī script as compared to the kūfī script. The material evidence and written narratives confirm that the Arabic calligraphy was produced in al-Ḥīra, and was transmitted by its inhabitants, merchants and priests, the monks of the deserts and northern Arab cities (Dumat al-Ğandal, Tabuk, Taymaʾ, Yaṯrib, Mecca). The names of the scribes before and during the era of the Prophet Muḥammad show that the great majority of them visited the court of the kings of al-Ḥīra or had direct contact with those who visited al-Ḥīra and learned the script. The history of the cities of al-Ḥīra and Kūfa shows that the ḥīrī script is older than the kūfī script, which seems to be the development of the former
Les chercheurs ont souvent négligé l’écriture ḥīrī par rapport au coufique. La documentation matérielle et les sources narratives confirment que la calligraphie arabe a été produite à al-Ḥīra et transmise par ses habitants, ses marchands et ses prêtres, ainsi que les moines du désert et des citées du nord de l’Arabie (Dumat al-Ğandal, Tabūk, Taymaʾ, Yaṯrib et La Mecque). Les noms des scribes avant et durant l’ère du Prophète Muḥammad révèlent que la majorité a visité la cour des rois d’al-Ḥīra ou ont eu des contacts directs avec ceux qui ont visité la ville et y ont appris l’écriture. L’histoire des villes d’al-Ḥīra et de Kūfa témoigne de l’ancienneté de l’écriture ḥīrī sur le coufique qui paraît un développement du premier.

Mathematical concepts in Arabic calligraphy: The proportions of the 'Alif
The starting point of every study on the proportions of Arabic calligraphy is the letter 'Alif. It is considered the reference for all other letters. Usually, it is measured in dots. This paper is an attempt to study the mathematical concepts upon which the historical theory of the 'Alif proportions was based, though not mathematically stated. In order to achieve this, the terms and components of the theory were clearly defined, and analyzed in their textual and visual context, historically, and logically according to our present time. In spite of the frequent use of these terms throughout time, their meanings were not always clear and can accept different interpretations. Some terms, even, indicated different meanings and were loosely used to satisfy different functions, for example, the term \"Nuqṭah\" (dot). Relating the components of the theory was, also, opened for opinions and interpretations, for example, the number of dots for the 'Alif was never agreed upon. This paper starts with historical research and analysis. Then, it presents the mathematical expressions of the 'Alif proportions both numerically and visually. Later, it discusses how they do apply, how other modern interpretations can fit, and how historical misunderstandings can be understood. Finally, it presents the historical account of how to relate other letters to the 'Alif recommending analyzing their mathematical aspects in future studies.

Islamic calligraphy
\"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. The extensive use of writing is a hallmark of Islamic civilization. Calligraphy, the art of beautiful writing, became one of the main methods of artistic expression from the seventh century to the present in almost all regions from the far Maghrib, or Islamic West, to India and beyond. Arabic script was adopted for other languages from Persian and Turkish to Kanembu and Malay. Sheila S. Blair's groundbreaking book explains this art form to modern readers and shows them how to identify, understand and appreciate its varied styles and modes. The book is designed to offer a standardized terminology for identifying and describing various styles of Islamic calligraphy and to help Westerners appreciate why calligraphy has long been so important in Islamic civilization. The argument is enhanced by the inclusion of more than 150 colour illustrations, as well as over 100 black-and-white details that highlight the salient features of the individual scripts and hands. Examples are chosen from dated or datable examples with secure provenance, for the problem of forgeries and copies (both medieval and modern) is rampant. The illustrations are accompanied by detailed analyses telling the reader what to look for in determining both style and quality of script\"--Jacket.

The Beauty of the Hebrew Letter: From Sacred Scrolls to Graffiti Izzy Pludwinski Brandeis University Press, 2023 228 pages, $50 A Hebrew scribe - sofer stam - has a special status in Jewish tradition. The rules of the scribal arts are prescribed in Halacha with great exactitude; and yet, as Jerusalem calligrapher Izzy Pludwinski observes in his book The Beauty of the Hebrew Letter. According to rabbinical tradition, Hebrew was the language with which God created His world. There have been books on their paleography, on the development of the Hebrew script, there are also practical books on how to do Hebrew calligraphy.
