Notes on Turquois in the East is a book written by Berthold Laufer and published in 1913. The book is a comprehensive study of the history, production, trade, and uses of turquoise in the East, particularly in Central Asia, Persia, and India. It provides a detailed account of the cultural and economic significance of turquoise in these regions, as well as its role in religion, medicine, and art. The book includes numerous illustrations and photographs of turquoise artifacts, mines, and production techniques, as well as a detailed bibliography and index. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the East, as well as for scholars and collectors of turquoise.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
