Enlarged spleens
Thursday, November 18, 2004Here's something random. Sepoy over at Chapati Mystery has a post about Bahr al-Fava’id (Sea of Virtues), a 12th century text written for the education of kings and princes. Apparently, in a section titled "On the Wonders of Cities" it says:
If one settles in Bahrain, his spleen will enlarge and become swollen.
Ermm... okay... thanks for the warning Sepoy.
On a slightly less morbid note, Sepoy has also got a very interesting post about Bernard Lewis if that interests any of you.
