Calligrapher
Belaid Hamidi of Fez. He taught calligraphy at the Royal College in the Royal Palace in Rabat (1992–2008), then at al-Azhar University in Cairo (2008–2016), and has lived in Jakarta since 2018
Qur’ans
Eight Qur’ans in Maghribi script since 1999, according to his biography on the CALLFRONT project website
Ijazas
In naskh and thuluth from Hasan Çelebi in Istanbul (1997)

One of the leading Moroccan Qur’an calligraphers today, combining the Maghribi script he grew up with in Fez and the eastern scripts in which he was licensed in Istanbul. We found no published description of each of his Qur’ans with its date and patron, so we have grouped them in one card.

We know how many Qur’ans he has written and when he began, but not the date of each one.
