"The

he said:
"Iranian
(Farsi) Naskh
calligraphy
is a
branch
of
general
family
of
Naskh calligraphy
which
alongside
the
Arabic,
Turkish
and
Indian
methods
of this
genre of
calligraphy
has been
employed
for
writing
the
versions
of holy
book of
Qur'an
as well
as
several
scientific
and
literary
texts.
Ahmad
Ibn
Shams-al
Din
Muhammad
Nairizi
has been
one of
the
greatest
calligraphers
in Iran
who
could
find a
respectable
status
in the
court of
Shah
Sultan
Hussein
Safavid."
Then
Amin
Na'eeima'ei
accounted
for the
subject
of
"Knowing
the Life
and
Works
Great
Calligraphers"
particularly
Abdolbaqi
Tabrizi,
"Abdolbaqi
Tabrizi
is one
of the
celebrated
Iranian
calligraphers
whose
life
like the
majority
of
Iranian
artists
is
wrapped
in
ambiguity.
In his
biography
of
calligraphers,
Muhammad
Haft-Qalami
wrote
that the
name of
the
great
calligrapher
was
Abdollah
and his
family
name was
Abdolbaqi
Haddad.
He was

mysticism
and
Sufism

He

"Mir
Ahmad
Ibn
Shams-al
Din
Muhammad
Nairizi
is among
the
caligraphers
of the
late
decades
of 11th
and 12th
century
A. H.
His
remained
works
proves
that he
has been
contemporaneous
with the
two late
Safavid
Kings,
Sultan
Safi II
and Shah
Sultan
Hussein."
Finally,
as the
last

of the
session,
Ehsan
Husseini
observed
the
issue
of,"
the
Survey
of
Fantasy
Versions
in
Isfahan
School
of
Safavid
Era."
He said,
"The
fantasy
and
creativity
have a
firm
relation
in each
historical
period,
the
types of
fantasy
are
specific
and
regarded
as the
distinguished
feature
of that
historic
period.
Script
is the
general
and
calligraphy
is the
artistic
feature
of
expression."
