    The monumental 5 vol. edition & translation of Ibn Abi Usaybiʿah's 'A Literary History of Medicine' is out, but even better, and so importantly, the whole thing is available completely free online:

    Twitter, can anybody here help me with 19th century frames, or know anybody who can? Bonus question - has anybody come across this snakes with egg(?) motif? [Bodleian LP655]

    What really matters when the cultural heritage of Iran (or any place) is threatened? Looking over the last week's events, I'd say the leadership of the heritage & museum communities has failed miserably in answering this. My latest for

    Why going ahead with our upcoming Iran exhibition is more important than ever. And why Donald Trump's threat to cultural sites is against everything Abraham Lincoln stood for.

    Shame on for such an irresponsible, inflammatory headline. The ‘Leader of the Free World’ is repeatedly threatening to bomb cultural sites (undoubtedly with innocent civilians in them) in Iran and this is what the Times goes for?

    And shrines are not only important for their architecture, but for the objects they house too. Qom & Mashhad have extensive treasuries of gifts of carpets, Qur'an manuscripts etc. accumulated over centuries. (Below textiles from the Najaf shrine, some of which looted by Saddam).

    We can only speculate what sites would be among the 52, but, historically, such shrines, in Iran, Iraq, & Afghanistan too are often victims during conflict. The shrine at Karbala' has been targeted many times, e.g. by the nascent Saudi state in 1802 & more recently by Saddam.

    These shrines have been the backdrops for myriad significant political events (as we're seeing today in Mashhad), as well as being receptacles for pilgrimage practices developed over the last millenium, and the burial places of kings and poets.

    Some say these places aren't culturally important: some friends from Iran raise their eyebrows when I say I work on Qom, telling me it's bi-farhang (without culture). But these places are repositories of culture, religion, & history which stretch back far earlier than the IR.

    My timeline is full of beautiful images of culturally important sites such as Isfahan, Shiraz, Yazd, but it's also important to draw attention to the major shrines in Iran, such as those of Imam Reza in Mashhad and his sister Fatemeh Maʿsumeh in Qom.

    I don’t usually tweet about politics, and I kept quiet about Soleimani because that’s really not my field of expertise, and obviously I deplore loss of human life, but this, this is just too much for me to stay silent about because I am enraged.
