Contenu
Travis Zadeh revives the work of the thirteenth-century Persian scholar Qazw¿n¿, whose Wonders and Rarities was for centuries one of the most influential natural histories in the world. Inviting us to embrace anew Qazw¿n¿'s rationalized study of nature and magic, Zadeh dramatically revises the place of wonder in the history of Islamic thought.
