The Queen of Sheba's Gift: A History of the True Balsam of Matarea - Edinburgh Studies in Classical Islamic History and Culture

The balsam of Matarea was a famous panacea among physicians in the Middle East and Europe during the antique and medieval periods. Using written sources, visual data and archaeological material, Milwright reconstructs the fascinating cultural history of the balsam tree: from Jericho and En-Gedi to Egypt, and from ancient times to the 17th century.
