If you are just learning calligraphy this may not help you that much with technique or getting started but if you want inspiration, this is good for that.

I mostly just looked at the pictures, but it seems to be what it purports, though I don't know enough about calligraphy to say whether or not it is complete. There are a lot of great examples of beautiful calligraphy works at the end, too.
