A Reyhan script from the 14th century.

Reyhan (Arabic: ریحان) is one of the six canonical scripts of Perso-Arabic calligraphy. The word Reyhan means basil in Arabic and Persian. Reyhan is a variant of the Muhaqqaq script, but it is finer than Muhaqqaq, likened to flowers and leaves of basil.[1] It was developed during the Abbasid era by Ibn al-Bawwab. [2]
