In the 15th. and 16th. centuries Moslem scribes produced some of the most spectacular illuminated manuscripts ever seen. This is my humble attempt to produce a page in that style. I used 100% rag paper, ink, watercolor, gouache and 23K gold leaf. It represents about 100 hours of research and actual work. The writing in the top panel is the "Bismallah" and means "In the name of God, most gracious, most merciful". The writing in the bottom panel is also in Arabic and says something to the effect of, "Praise be to God, the cherisher and sustainer of the Universe." The piece is 20"x30". If you would like to see a few details from this, scroll on down. I did this many years ago and am often asked if some of the design was already on the paper. It was not. I started with a blank piece of paper.
