Since antiquity, musk has been a valued perfume and medicine. Because the musk deer only lives in Central Eurasia, people in other locations had to trade for its musk. For medieval Islamic civilization, musk became the most important of all aromatics. The musk trade thus illuminates the nature of medieval Asian trade and musk's cultural effects on the Islamic world. Scent from the Garden of Paradise: Musk and the Medieval Islamic World examines the history of musk from its origins in Asia to its uses in the medieval Middle East, surveys the Islamic literature on musk, and discusses the roles of musk in perfumery and medicine, as well as the symbolic importance of musk in Islam.

Recenzijas

"Kitapta istifade edilen kaynaklar gerēekten etkileyici. Her ne kadar kitapta istifade edilen kaynak malzemelerin büyük ēounluu Arapēa olsa da, Pehlevice, Klasik Farsēa, Süryanice, Ēince, Sanskritēe, Eski Türkēe, Tibet dili, Yunanca ve Latince de istifade edilen diller arasnda. Birēou birincil kaynak olan eserlerden yaplan alntlarda ilk önce o dilin modern bilimdeki transliterasyon kurallarna göre yazlm bir ēevriyaz ve altnda da ngilizce tercümesi yer alyor. Ayrca kitapta istifade edilen kaynaklarn kendisi de ēok ilginē. stifade edilen belgeler arasnda arkeolojik kazlarda bulunmu tüccar mektuplar, seyahatnameler, kitap sanatlarna dair eserler, sözlükler, iir kitaplar, yemek kitaplar, kimya eserleri, tp kitaplar, corafya eserleri, cevahirnameler, hisbe klavuzlar, zooloji kitaplar, botanik eserleri, tarih kitaplar gibi ēok geni yelpazede eserler bulunuyor. Bu yönüyle eser, bu tarz bir aratrmann nasl yaplmas ve yazlmas gerektiine dair harika bir örnek. Kitap, sadece bir nesne veya ürün üzerinden öncelikle Ortaēa slam dünyasnn adeta bir kesitini oluturuyor. Böylelikle genel okuyucu sadece misk hakknda deil, slam medeniyetinde farkl alanlarda kaleme alnm bu ilginē kaynaklar hakknda da bilgi sahibi oluyor." Hüseyin en, Yeni afak, 13 Eylül 2017.
