Ibn al-Bawwāb (Arabic: إِبْن ٱلْبَوَّاب), also known as Ali ibn-Hilal, Abu'l-Hasan, and Ibn al-Sitri, was an Arabic calligrapher and illuminator who lived in Baghdad.[1] He is the figure most associated with the adoption of round script to transcribe the Qur'an.[2] He most likely died around 1022 CE in Baghdad.[3]
