Experimental Approaches to the Study of Past Scents

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

I am introducing a new 5-year study starting this year funded by the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic and hosted at the Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences, whose aim is to explore how the art of perfumery and its methods influenced natural philosophy, medicine, and material and literary culture in Hellenistic Egypt and Greece (fourth through first centuries BCE). The methods of ancient perfumery are obscured by the cryptic formulation of the recipes and the ephemeral archaeological evidence left behind. We believe that we can increase our understanding of those procedures if we learn how to perform them, that is, to replicate the phenomena (the materials, apparatus and practices) that led their authors to write the recipes they did. The project will develop two tools, a historical lexicon and a manual of experimental perfumery, which will be the focus of this talk. Workshop Keynote Lecture.
