This study sets out to provide coverage of the role of indigo in
the Arab world, from its earliest history to the present day. It is
based on fieldwork in all the principal countries concerned, as
well as library and museum research, discussion with those working
in related fields and personal experience of dyeing with indigo.
The author surveys the story of indigo in antiquity, and then
examines the record in the Arab world before Islam, during the
Great Age of Islam, and in the subsequent centuries. She looks at
all aspects in each period: technical, commercial, economic, and
social, with reference to its importance in international trade and
the impact of indigo products on Europe. The work covers each stage
of indigo production, as well as the botanical and agricultural
usages of indigo in the textile industry throughout the whole
period, and the sundry purposes outside the field of textiles to
which indigo has been put. The study ends with a brief look at
indigo's future prospects.
