Fully illustrated in colour, this fascinating catalogue of the Nasser D. Khalili collection's scientific apparatus offers a wonderful insight into the astronomical, medical and domestic wisdom of Islamic civilisations. Objects from the seventh to the nineteenth centuries are illustrated, drawn mainly from Iranian, Ottoman Turkish and Mughal Indian contexts. Globes and astrolabes jostle with 14th century treatises on human anatomy and magic pestles in this eclectic collection.
