Abstract

This dissertation includes a brief description of the history of calligraphy from the beginning of Islam and its development, master-student genealogy and calligraphers, introduction of calligraphy schools in different periods, classification of calligraphers in terms of the time and geographical place they belong to as well as a brief description of their works.  In addition to calligraphers, in the last part of the treatise, famous artists in the field of book decoration in Iran and the Ottoman period up to the contemporary of the author are introduced. In compiling this treatise, the author has paid attention to the previous notes and his work has been based on compressing and summarizing the information of these sources.
