The Book of Charlatans (Al-Jawbarī Jamāl Al-Dīn)(Pevná vazba) - popis produktu

Uncovering the professional secrets of con artists and swindlers in the medieval Middle East

The Book of Charlatans is a comprehensive guide to trickery and scams as practiced in the thirteenth century in the cities of the Middle East, especially in Syria and Egypt.
