520 8  For more than one thousand years Arab medicine held sway 
       in the ancient world, from the shores of Spain in the West
       to China, India and Sri Lanka (Ceylon) in the East. This 
       book explores the impact of Greek (as well as Indian and 
       Persian) medical heritage on the evolution of Arab 
       medicine and pharmacology, investigating it from the 
       perspective of materia medica - a reliable indication of 
       the contribution of this medical legacy. Focusing on the 
       main substances introduced and traded by the Arabs in the 
       medieval Mediterranean - including Ambergris, camphor, 
       musk, myrobalan, nutmeg, sandalwood and turmeric - the 
       authors show how they enriched the existing inventory of 
       drugs influenced by Galenic-Arab pharmacology. Further, 
       they look at how these substances merged with the 
       development and distribution of new technologies and 
       industries that evolved in the Middle Ages such as 
       textiles, paper, dyeing and tanning, and with the new 
       trends, demands and fashions regarding spices, perfumes, 
       ornaments (gemstones) and foodstuffs some of which can be 
       found in our modern-day food basket.
