»The Koran was revealed in Arabia, recited in Egypt and calligraphed
in the Ottoman Empire«. The highly respected Ottoman calligraphers
left specimens of their art in religious texts, poems, the sciences
and official documents. Selected works of the most famous Ottoman
calligraphers today belong to Berlin collections and are now on display
– not only a Koran, but also poetry manuscripts and exercise
sheets decorated with special illumination. Also included are boards
of the famous calligrapher Haf¶z Osman dating back to 1693 and documents
from the 17th century are all there to be admired.
