There are thousands of precious manuscripts of calligraphic art at the libraries of the country which show the importance of the art in this region.

Ali ibn Muqla (885-940 AD) was a Persian official of the Abbasid Caliphate who rose to high state posts in the early 10th century. He was also a famous calligrapher, and he or his brothers have been considered the originators of the so-called al-khatt al-mansub (proportioned script) style, perfected by the 11th-century Persian calligrapher Ibn al-Bawwab.<\/h4>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first Islamic calligraphy centre in Mauritania was opened by a group of the country\u2019s artists and calligraphers.
