»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.
