Yaqut al-Musta'simi (also Yakut-i Musta'simi) (died 1298[1]) was a well-known calligrapher[2][3] and secretary of the last Abbasid caliph. He was born of Greek origin in Amaseia and carried off when he was very young.[4] He codified six basic calligraphic styles of the Arabic script.[5] Naskh script was said to have been revealed and taught to the scribe in a vision. He developed Yakuti, a handwriting named after him, described as a thuluth of "a particularly elegant and beautiful type."[1] Supposedly he had copied the Qur'an more than a thousand times.[6]
