Commentary
L’interdiction de la représentation de l’homme et des animaux valorise grandement l’écriture, d’autant plus que le Coran dit explicitement que l’art d’écrire est d’essence divine (sourate 96, verset 4). Les inscriptions ont donc à la fois une fonction de prosélytisme religieux et un rôle esthétique.
The ban on the representation of humans and animals greatly enhances writing, especially since the Quran explicitly states that the art of writing is of divine essence (sura 96, verse 4). Inscriptions therefore have both a religious proselytizing function and an aesthetic role.

AL-ANDALOUS - AL-HAKAM II
(915-976)
Calif
He was born on January 13, 915 in Cordoba. It was under his reign that the caliphate reached its peak. A great scholar, he succeeded his father, Abd Al-Rahman III, on October 15, 961. He worked to continue the policy of emancipation from Baghdad and to develop Cordoba to make it one of the most important cities in Europe. He carries out the most beautiful and important extension of the Mosque of Cordoba and completes the construction of the Medina al-Zahara. He died on October 1, 976, leaving a flourishing economy and a peaceful caliphate..
