Drawing on texts written by the Egyptians and their neighbors, Lise Manniche has reconstructed a herbal of 94 species of plants and trees used before, during, and after the pharaonic period in Egypt. Each plant, from acacia to zizyphus, is named in Latin and English and (where known) in ancient Egyptian, Coptic, Greek, and modern Arabic. The author explains the special properties of each plant, and quotes authentic recipes for cosmetics and remedies. She also dis-cusses the Egyptians’ uses of herbs and flowers for both decorative and practical purposes, and the importance of plants for funerary and festive occasions. A section on perfume draws on the latest research into the ingredients and uses of Egyptian scents.\\n\\n Author  :  Lise manniche\\nNumber of Pages  :  184\\nBook Dimensions :  18*25\\nAge Group : Adults\\n ISBN : 9789774160349\"}'\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor : Dyna Eldaief\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Pages : 184   -  \u003cspan\u003e288 color illus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBook Dimensions : 18*25\u003cbr\u003eAge Group : Adults\u003cbr\u003eISBN : 9781649034281\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ePublisher : Auc Press\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AUC Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67659774984467,"sku":"9781649034281","price":1275.0,"currency_code":"EGP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/6599\/3491\/files\/71Jq0kUQ2AL._SL1500.jpg?v=1791984033","url":"https:\/\/global.al-balsam.com\/ar\/products\/the-taste-of-egypt-home-cooking-from-the-middle-east","provider":"Al-Balsam Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
