Salaams All and note to Library~ First a plea that this thread be returned to the top of the front page, Crown Jewels position, we used to call Sticky. This thread had slipped to a descending spot on page 6 where unless you knew it was somewhere in the system it would never be found... This thread is for the growing extra detail and study of dedicated forum input. It was never meant to be cut free to float away. I argue that its importance is eroded and hidden away it is lost to mainstream users whereas developed as a Sticky mega thread it was strategically placed at the cutting edge atop page 1.
With respect I urge that it be put back there, however, as an add on/ late change to my post and having reread the classics thread I advise putting all the classics under one banner say instead of ..calendar...which can be ditched and replaced by Stickys or Flagship Threads or Crown Jewels... perhaps.

Islamic Script Styles.

As an opener I show the equipment and project of a specialist Master Calligrapher. I hope to illustrate all the different styles of script herein; as we roll forward.

Regards,
Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
