I have been interested in the Middle East, and especially Persia, for many years. Throughout those years I have done a lot of reading, a lot of thinking, and a bit of writing. Here are links to some of the results:
This is my library relating to things Middle-Eastern.
Items available in 9th century Persia.
Information about Persian Women's Clothing as seen in paintings from the 16th Century.
Some speculation about Sasanian women's clothing.
A list of male and female clothing terms used during the Abbasid caliphate.
Some thoughts about finding a 'good' edition of 1001 Nights.
