Aja'ib al-Athar fi al-Tarajim wa-al-Akhbar

Evidence

"بتجويد الخط ... طريقة الثلث ، والنسخ ... ثم جود في التعليق ... الديواني والقمة والفرنسي والتركي"

Remarks

The text highlights the expertise of several calligraphers (Sheikh of Calligraphers, Ismail bin Abd al-Rahman al-Rumi, and Abd Allah Efendi al-Anis) who mastered diverse scripts for varying manuscript types. Thuluth and Naskh were utilized for religious manuscripts like Mushafs, while Diwani and Qarma were specialized for administrative and treasury records (Al-Ruznamji). This confirms a structured use of different inks and scripts for specific bureaucratic and sacred functions (p. 603, 614, 615).
