A renowned historian of Ottoman calligraphy, Mustakimzade (d. 1788/89), describes eleven women calligraphers in his account. These women were trained by their fathers and brothers and excelled in their art. One female calligrapher, Emine Servt Hanim, wrote nine hilyas for her ijaza in the year AH 1291 (1874 CE), at around the age of eighteen. An ijaza is a certificate of authorization to copy and reproduce calligraphy and is a vital part of the Ottoman calligraphy tradition. Hanim's nine hilyas, written in exquisite and intricate detail, were considered a significant achievement for a female calligrapher of the time. At present, it is kept in a private collection. Hafiza Khatun (d. 1830), who memorized and recited the Hadith, was proficient in both the Thuluth and Naskh scripts. In Baghdad, Al Hafiza Saliha al-Naqshali was a widely recognized calligrapher and scholar. She was the first female calligrapher of note in Arabic calligraphy. Among her calligraphic works was her <a href="/wiki/Quran" title="Quran">Quran</a>; each page had ten lines: three lines of thuluth script, four lines of naskh below, and three lines of thuluth at the end.<sup id="cite_ref-Simonowitz,_2010_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Simonowitz,_2010-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Tools">Tools</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Turkish_calligraphy&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Tools"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Turkish_Reed_Pen.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Turkish_Reed_Pen.jpg/220px-Turkish_Reed_Pen.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="137" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Turkish_Reed_Pen.jpg/330px-Turkish_Reed_Pen.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9c/Turkish_Reed_Pen.jpg/440px-Turkish_Reed_Pen.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1125" data-file-height="703" /></a><figcaption>Turkish Reed Pen</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Wooden_Calligraphy_Tools,_Ottoman_Empire_(Osmanl%C4%B1_%C4%B0mparatorlu%C4%9Fu).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fe/Wooden_Calligraphy_Tools%2C_Ottoman_Empire_%28Osmanl%C4%B1_%C4%B0mparatorlu%C4%9Fu%29.jpg/220px-Wooden_Calligraphy_Tools%2C_Ottoman_Empire_%28Osmanl%C4%B1_%C4%B0mparatorlu%C4%9Fu%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="157" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fe/Wooden_Calligraphy_Tools%2C_Ottoman_Empire_%28Osmanl%C4%B1_%C4%B0mparatorlu%C4%9Fu%29.jpg/330px-Wooden_Calligraphy_Tools%2C_Ottoman_Empire_%28Osmanl%C4%B1_%C4%B0mparatorlu%C4%9Fu%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fe/Wooden_Calligraphy_Tools%2C_Ottoman_Empire_%28Osmanl%C4%B1_%C4%B0mparatorlu%C4%9Fu%29.jpg/440px-Wooden_Calligraphy_Tools%2C_Ottoman_Empire_%28Osmanl%C4%B1_%C4%B0mparatorlu%C4%9Fu%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2100" data-file-height="1500" /></a><figcaption>Wooden Calligraphy Tools, Ottoman Empire (Osmanlı İmparatorluğu)</figcaption></figure> <p>Calligraphy is a form of writing that requires a specific type of pen made from a special kind of reed, ink made from soot, and special papers in order to practice. The reed is split lengthwise and divided into thin strips. The strips are next fused together to create the pen.<sup id="cite_ref-Adviye,_2010_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Adviye,_2010-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The nib of the pen is angled so that it slants toward the calligrapher, who holds the pen so that the nib's edge completely rests on the paper. The most important component in the calligraphy's aesthetic quality is the pen, since the pen produces the subtle effects and designs. </p><p>In calligraphy, black lines are generally produced with lampblack ink on a light background. For Ottoman calligraphy, the most common colors were yellow (zırnık); red, white, and gold. The pigments were made with a variety of chemicals and substances, including orpiment, tulips and white lead. </p><p>In previous centuries, paper purchased from the factory was not immediately usable. The raw paper was first colored, since it was typically white and strained the eyes. The surface was then sized with ‘âhâr,’ and lastly burnished with a tool known as a ‘çakmak mühre’ to smooth the surface and stabilize the ‘âhâr’ coating. This method continues to be used in modern calligraphy, resulting in glossy and smooth paper.<sup id="cite_ref-Derman,_1999_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Derman,_1999-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Styles">Styles</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Turkish_calligraphy&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Styles"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There are several classical styles of <a href="/wiki/Islamic_calligraphy" title="Islamic calligraphy">Islamic calligraphy</a>, which are known in Turkish as sulus, reyhani, rika, muhakkak, and tevki.

When Ottoman architecture, music, and fine art were modified by Western influences, calligraphy remained untouched. This was likely due to Europe's lack of calligraphic art forms and the master and apprentice system, which preserved established principles that were passed down from one generation to the next. There is a common saying in the Islamic world alluding to length of time that Turkish preserved the art in its purest form: “The Quran was revealed in the Hijazi; it was best recited in Egypt and best written in Istanbul.” </p><p>Turkish calligraphy first developed as a separate art form, but subsequently emphasis was placed on embellishing it with tezhip (gold illumination) and ebru (Turkish paper marbling). The illumination process was first developed in <a href="/wiki/Iran" title="Iran">Iran</a> in the early fifteenth century during the Timurid Period. By the end of the fifteenth century, the Ottomans had embraced the classical style. They employed decorative depictions of animals and plants to produce a classical ornamental style distinguished by its flat surfaces and vivid color scheme. </p><p>However, Ottoman illumination began to steadily deteriorate and lose its distinctiveness as it was influenced by Western art in the 18th century. Later, the art was rejuvenated by 20th-century painters who wished to recreate the classical techniques.<sup id="cite_ref-Derman,_1999_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Derman,_1999-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Evolution_of_Turkish_calligraphy">Evolution of Turkish calligraphy</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Turkish_calligraphy&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Evolution of Turkish calligraphy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>At present, Turkish calligraphy still plays a significant role in Islamic visual culture.
