Document Details : Title: Cabessa or Bariga Subtitle: Dutch Data on the Benzoin Business in Early Modern al-Mukhā Author(s): BROUWER, C.G. Journal: Bibliotheca Orientalis Volume: 65 Issue: 1-2 Date: 2008 Pages: 15-38 DOI: 10.2143/BIOR.65.1.2030876 Abstract : In early modern al-Mukhā, we may conclude from the Dutch data available, benzoin — big or small, cabessa or bariga, nice/pure or bad/impure — was among the main aromatics supplied and traded. From the same data we also learn that the benzoin business in that Yemeni coastal city did not always lead to trouble-free profit. |
