Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The basic unit of currency in the Dutch Republic was the guilder. One guilder was made up of 20 stuivers.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The Dutch merchants were middle-aged and stoutly built. They had made their money in trade, and they knew how to turn a profit. They were selling off the bulbs for the benefit of some of the children in their care.
Insights from Chapter 3

#1

The tulip is not native to the Netherlands. It is a flower of the East, a child of the unimaginable vastness of central Asia. It did not reach the Netherlands until 1570, and by then it had already been traveling for many hundreds of years from its original homeland in the mountain ranges that run north of the Himalayas.

#2

The Pamirs and the Tien Shan are a backbone of Asia and an all-but-impenetrable barrier between China and Russia. They were the reason why the ancient civilizations of Rome and China remained almost entirely ignorant of each other’s existence.

#3

The tulip became a symbol of the Turks. The Turks had lost some of their nomadic instincts by the end of the eleventh century, when a tribe of Turks called the Seljuks came west and conquered Anatolia from the Byzantines.

#4

The Ottomans, a Turkish dynasty, were the first to cross the Dardanelles and arrive in Europe in 1345. They took Greece and Thrace from the Byzantines, and then most of the Balkans as well.

#5

The tulip was considered the holiest flower in the Muslim world, and was literally regarded as the flower of God because the letters that make up lale, the Turkish word for tulip, are the same as those that form Allah.
Insights from Chapter 4

#1

The Battle of Kosovo in 1389 was the first major battle that involved the tulip. It was also the first time the Ottoman Turks used the flower to protect themselves against misfortune. They embroidered it onto their underclothes.

#2

Bayezid I was the first Ottoman Sultan, and he ruled from 1389 to 1402. He was a ruler of immense energy and ambition, and he tightened the Ottomans’ grip on the Balkans. But his power had now exhausted itself.
