Reyhan (script)

A Reyhan script from the 14th century.

Reyhan (Arabic: ریحان‎‎) is one of the six canonical scripts of the 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 and because of that it is compared with flowers and leaves (basil).[1] It was developed during the Abbasid era by Ibn al-Bawwab.
