1953 Writing Arabic A Practical Introduction to Ruq'ah Script

Description

First Edition, Leather Binding, Scarce

Ruqʿah script is a variety, and the most common type, of handwriting in the Arabic script, primarily used in official documents and every-day writing. Known for its clipped letters composed of short, straight lines and simple curves, as well as its straight and even lines of text, this script (unlike other types of calligraphy) is not considered as an art form. Instead, it is a functional style of writing that is quick to write and easy to read. This work provides a fascinating history of the development of the script, a description of its general use, and instructions on how to write in Ruq ah script (with several examples of various handwriting styles).
