  Scribes and calligraphers were highly skilled and trained individuals responsible for transcribing the Quranic text. Calligraphers were revered for their mastery of Arabic calligraphy, particularly for their ability to write in the specific scripts that had been developed and standardized for Quranic texts, such as Kufic.
