Concerned with the Sufi milieus of his native city, new source in question is a pilgrimage guide to the cemeteries of Tabriz and surrounding villages written by a local Sufi known as Ibn Karbal\u0101\u02be\u012b and completed in 975\/1567.<\/em><\/p> However, the actual line of calligraphers did not continue through the son but through another student and relative of Shams al-D\u012bn Mu\u1e25ammad Kha\u1e6d\u1e6d\u0101\u1e6d. This man was knowns as \u02bfAl\u012b Beg Tabr\u012bz\u012b, a maternal grandson of his teacher and like his grandfather and several other preceding masters of the pen in Tabriz he maintained intimate ties to eminent local Sufis.<\/em><\/p> It is with none other than \u02bfAl\u012b Beg that Ibn Karbal\u0101\u02be\u012b studied writing a little thereby linking himself to this great chain of calligraphers of Tabriz. The author of the local pilgrimage guide informs us that \u02bfAl\u012b Beg died in 957\/1550 and that he was buried in the tomb complex of his paternal grandfather. Unlike Shams al-D\u012bn Mu\u1e25ammad Kha\u1e6d\u1e6d\u0101\u1e6d, this grandfather of \u02bfAl\u012b Beg had no reputation for calligraphy and was more exclusively concerned with religious matters like Sufism. But the great chain of local calligraphers also went on through \u02bfAl\u012b Beg Tabr\u012bz\u012b who did not only teach Ibn Karbal\u0101\u02be\u012b. A far more famous student of \u02bfAl\u012b Beg was his maternal nephew \u02bfAl\u0101\u02be al-D\u012bn Mu\u1e25ammad known as \u02bfAl\u0101\u02be Beg Tabr\u012bz\u012b who is introduced by Ibn Karbal\u0101\u02be\u012b as the leader of calligraphers of his time.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Allauddin Muhammed alias Ali Beg Tabrizi was a Master calligrapher and many mosques and buildings in Tabriz carry inscriptions written by him. But actual calligraphic pieces on paper or in book form are rare indeed. We present a book from our archives written by him, and it shows his mastery over his subject. It is reputed that people met the calligrapher during a visit to the city in 988\/1580\u201381 when \u02bfAl\u0101\u02be Beg had probably already reached an advanced age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" REMEMBERING ALA BEG TABREZI THE GREAT CALLIGRAPHER FROM TABREZ – AN UNKNOWN MANUSCRIPT IN THE LIBRARY ARCHIVES OF CHUGHTAI MUSEUM.
