This ... book presents an important new chapter in paper's history: how its use in Islamic lands during the Middle Ages influenced almost every aspect of medieval life. Focusing on the spread of paper from the early eighth century, when Muslims in West Asia acquired Chinese knowledge of paper and papermaking, to five centuries later, when they transmitted this knowledge to Christians in Spain and Sicily, the book reveals how paper utterly transformed the passing of knowledge and served as a bridge between cultures. Jonathan Bloom traces the earliest history of paper--how it was invented in China over 2,000 years ago, how it entered the Islamic lands of West Asia and North Africa, and how it spread to northern Europe. He explores the impact of paper on the development of writing, books, mathematics, music, art, architecture, and even cooking. And he discusses why Europe was so quick to adopt paper from the Islamic lands and why the Islamic lands were so slow to accept printing in return"--Publisher's description. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 517 3 $aHistory and impact of paper in the Islamic world 606 $aPaper$xHistory 606 $aPaper$zMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aPaper$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01052348 607 $aMiddle East$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aPaper$xHistory. 615 0$aPaper$xHistory. 615 7$aPaper. 676 $a676/.0917/671 700 $aBloom$b Jonathan$g(Jonathan M.),$0604403 712 02$aYale University Press, 801 0$bCOO 801 1$bCOO 801 2$bOSU 801 2$bDOS 801 2$bACLSE 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bDKDLA 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bEUW 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bALAUL 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCL 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bTMC 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCA 801 2$bOCL 801 2$bOCLCA 801 2$bOTZ 801 2$bU3W 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bFIE 801 2$bUAB 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bDKC 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bOCLCA 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bBUF 801 2$bAU@ 801 2$bCPO 801 2$bKIJ 801 2$bRRP 801 2$bMM9 801 2$bYOU 801 2$bINARC 801 2$bHS0 801 2$bSXB 801 2$bUKQUB 801 2$bAJS 801 2$bUKEHC 801 2$bYUS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248096103316 996 $aPaper before print$91234775 997 $aUNISA
