Ibn al-Bawwab

Ibn al-Bawwab

Ibn al-Bawwab was Arabic calligrapher and illuminator who lived during the time of the Buyid dynasty. He most likely died around 1022 AD in Baghdad.

One of his largest achievements was the perfection of the al-Khatt al-Mansub (literally, "the well-proportioned script") style of Islamic calligraphy.
