	Zakariya Calligraphy : Resources & Papers : Music for the Eyes
		Around 1480, a 50-year-old calligrapher named Seyh Hamdullah had a visionary experience that led him to redesign completely the structure of the six scripts — especially sulus and nesih, which became the Ottoman scripts par excellence.
		Karahisari outlived Seyh Hamdullah by 36 years, but it was the sheikh's style that would prevail.
		The uses of calligraphy are as varied as the styles, but the primary application is the manuscript book, especially the Quran, which was copied in toto as a mushaf or in separate sections, used for memorization and recitation.
