Cursive is not a style. I think you mean nashki and thuluth Kufic is not Ottoman, it's very old around 9th c. Marius could you send a better picture of your text? I think you have a date on your knife... Regards, Kubur |

Salaams all...Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-Kufic
The project knife is not pseudo script..The date appears on the left of the item ... These inscriptions are automatically Talismanic thus there is some reluctance in providing translations by some ...quite understandable.  Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. |

Salaams Kubur ...You are right. Serves me right for trying to short circuit the definition... Perhaps readers will look at http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/islamic_calligraphy/ for a ballanced fuller look at the styles... I think the date is over on the left side of the picture... Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. |
