UCSD MMW 3 Final Paper

This is an essay that I wrote for the Making of the Modern World class at UCSD (that all freshmen in the ERC college are required to write).  My paper mainly discusses why the revelation of the prophet, Muhammad had such a significant impact on the emergence and spread of calligraphy in Islamic countries. Don't copy it, because you'll get in big trouble, but feel free to use it for background information! =)
