Wonderful large format catalog from the 2019 Quran exhibit held at the Freerer/Sackler, Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. Beautifully illustrates the masterpieces which were on display. Must have book for anyone interested in the history of the Qur'an or Arabic calligraphy. Only thing I would have liked would be the inclusion of more information about the calligraphy styles.
