Wonders and Rarities: The Marvelous Book That Traveled the World and Mapped the Cosmos

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