Week 2 - Nasty Nomads and their Heavenly Horses
NOTE: Rather than Beckwith (2009) Ch. 1, please read Ch.
3. I don't want to spring too many surprises on you, but based on your
interests and level of previous knowledge, I think Ch. 3 would be more
interesting to you. Also, Instead of Barber 1999 (Ch. 8), please read Barfield 1991:
Week 3 - Gold and Lapis, Bronze and Jade
Week 4 - Imperial Ambitions: From the Greeks to the Mongols and Back Again
Week 5 - The Original Dharma Bums: Religions on the Silk Road
Week 6 - The Legacy of the Silk Road
Meet me at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Tuesday, Feb. 22, at 2:15pm for a look at some objects related to the Silk Road. It's free!
