User talk:Figapartmenttoast/Almohad Caliphate

Latest comment: 3 years ago by Yesvery875

I love your focus on different styles of scripts used during the Almohad caliphate and their significance and use. I like how you explain why these scripts were preferred over others. I also like how you emphasize the importance of calligraphy using the fact that one of the caliphs was a calligrapher himself.

Things I would consider/suggest when thinking about polishing your piece:

-link "polychromy" so that general Wiki readers don't have to look it up?

-think about how each paragraph sort of builds on the other

think about the organization -- maybe split 'manuscripts' and 'calligraphy' into two different sections/headings so it's maybe a bit easier to follow?

-lastly, I was really interested in learning more about the last manuscript, specifically how it "alters tradition to fit its own purposes" -- if you have access to more research about that manuscript maybe it would be worthwhile to analyze it a bit more?

Overall, I loved your piece! It's really well written and concise, doesn't stray away from the topic, and provides really interesting insights into book arts in the Almohad period. Hope these suggestions help! Yesvery875 (talk) 19:38, 7 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
