Based on a large variety of sources, it is a history of a scientific field that is also examined from social and cultural perspectives. Horses, as well as birds of prey used for hawking and falconry, were at the centre of the veterinary literature of that period, but the treatment and cure of other animals was not totally neglected. The Mamluk period is presented here as the time when veterinary medicine reached its pinnacle in medieval Islam and often even surpassed human medicine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Housni Alkhateeb Shehada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004234055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004234055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.40w x 1.30d","brand":"Housni Alkhateeb Shehada","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49148330049791,"sku":"9789004234055","price":316.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mamluks-and-animals-housni-alkhateeb-shehada-9789004234055","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
