专家说明

Mir 'Ali al-Katib (d.1544-45 AD) is often mentioned by Safavid sources as amongst the most important nasta'liq calligraphers of all time. Various authorities attribute the codifying of the aesthetic rules of nasta'liq script to him. Born in Herat circa 1476 AD, he was later taken to Bukhara by the Shaybanid ruler 'Ubaydullah Khan after his capture of Herat in AH 935/1528-29 AD (Bayani, 1346 sh. p.494). His recorded works are dated between AH 914/1508-09 AD and AH 951/1544-45 AD.
