"house inscriptions, Ottoman Damascus 152–153; written on paper and displayed in house interiors 127"
Remarks
The index highlights the use of house inscriptions in Ottoman Damascus (p. 152-153) and Ottoman Cairo (p. 135). A relevant entry (p. 127) specifies that some of these talismanic or protective inscriptions were 'written on paper and displayed in house interiors,' illustrating the domestic application of protective textual materials in the Ottoman period. Calligraphic styles associated with Ottoman inscriptions in the index include naskh and thuluth (p. 163, 175).
