Re: Shah Abbas - The remaking of Iran - British Museum Archived Message Posted by Subhi on January 3, 2020, 2:15 pm, in reply to "Shah Abbas - The remaking of Iran - British Museum" Dear Mary I always read your many and informative posts. I wonder if you might in an idle moment be interested in a) "Warriors of the Cloisters: The Central Asian Origins of Science in the Medieval World Christopher I. Beckwith" https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691155319/warriors-of-the-cloisters Central Asia is to my messy way of thinking mainly Persian or Persid and b) In the series "1000 years of the Persian Book" the Library of Congress had numerous excellent talks by the likes of Fred Starr "The Lost Englightenment" but I link to Chase Robinson who adapted the biographical dictionary so beloved of Muslims to write a 1000 years of history in 30 lives.
