The Calligraphy department at the Museum of Islamic Art presents a course entitled
‘The beauty of the Diwani script’. The Dawani script was first used in Ottoman courts and
was so elaborate that it was considered one of their treasures. State decrees as well as the
letters of kings and the heads of states were written in this script. The Diwani script is
characterized by highly ornamental, cursive characters.
