"Paper Before Print: The History and Impact of Paper in the Islamic World" challenges misconceptions about paper's role in Islamic culture, advocating for its profound intellectual significance.
Jonathan M. Bloom's exploration provides a comprehensive narrative on the diffusion of paper in the Medieval Islamic world, essential for understanding the rise of global intellectual history.
This revisionist study prompts reassessment of perspectives on Islamic intellectual history, effectively countering the undervaluation of non-Western cultural products in scholarly discourse.
Bloom supports his claims with primary sources and visuals, enhancing the credibility of his arguments across the book's seven chapters, making a strong case for paper's impact.
