Reyhan (script)


Reyhan is one of the six canonical scripts of Perso-Arabic calligraphy. The word Reyhan means basil in Arabic and Persian. Reyhan is a variant of the Muhaqqaq script, but it is finer than Muhaqqaq, likened to flowers and leaves of basil. It was developed during the Abbasid era by Ibn al-Bawwab.
