Commentary |
Tawki’ (signature), also known as Tawaki’ script, was a chancery script, the last of the 6 classical cursive scripts. It was invented in the 9th-10th c., deriving from the Riyasi script, which the Abbasid caliphs used when signing their names and titles. It has affinities to both Thuluth and Riqa’ scripts. It was established as a major script by Ahmad ibn al-Khazin (d. 1124). It is also a precursor to another chancery script, Ta’liq, which emerged in the 15th c. (Safadi: Islamic calligraphy, p. 20.) |
