Synopsis
Contributing Authors

The work consists of three parts, which correspond to the themes Environmental History and Material Culture Studies and a third which bridges the gap between the two approaches (Practice and Knowledge Transfer). The present papers cover a wide range of such topics as urban pollution, local perceptions of weather, rural estate economy, Sufi understandings of nature and the body and mind, houses and socialization, text and gardens, local know-how and interdependence in medieval Syrian agriculture, crop selection and the medieval agricultural economy etc.

This edited volume represents the research results of two international conferences organized and sponsored by the Annemarie Schimmel Kolleg: “Environmental Approaches in Pre-Modern Middle Eastern Studies” and “Material Culture Methods in the Middle Islamic Periods”. The following work consists of three parts, which correspond to the themes of the aforementioned conferences (Contributions to Environmental History and Material Culture Studies) and a third which bridges the gap between the two approaches (Practice and Knowledge Transfer). The present papers cover a wide range of such topics as urban pollution, local perceptions of weather, rural estate economy, Sufi understandings of nature and the body and mind, houses and socialization, text and gardens, local know-how and interdependence in medieval Syrian agriculture, crop selection and the medieval agricultural economy etc.
