Notlar
The page is made up of eight separate calligraphic pieces, seven of which are signed by some of the greatest Ottoman calligraphers. The earliest,ShaykhHamdullah al-Amasi (d. 1520), is considered to be the founder of the Ottoman calligraphic tradition. He is represented by two pieces (last two panels), one of which is dated earlyDhu’l-Qa‘da901 (11–20 August 1496). Next is Hafiz ‘Uthman (1642–98), the main transmitter of Hamdullah’s practice, also represented by two pieces (top left and 2nd from the top, right). The fifth piece (3rd from the top, left) is signed by Hafiz Yusuf, a contemporary of Hafiz ‘Uthman and teacher of Mustakim-zade, the Ottoman connoisseur ofcalligraphy. The sixth piece (3rd from the top, right) is signed by Muhammad Rasim (1687–1755) who, in 1737, was appointed teacher ofcalligraphyat the Palace. Mahmud Jalaluddin (d. 1829), who signed the 7th piece (2nd from the top, left), was unique among 18th- and 19th-century Ottoman calligraphers in being virtually self-taught, mastering the art by copying the work ofShaykhHamdullah and Hafiz ‘Uthman. The eighth piece is unsigned.
