Un article très intéressant sur les brûle-parfums et l'utilisation des encens (empire byzantin tardif et empire ottoman) :Tera Lee Hedrick and Nina Ergin, « A Shared Culture of Heavenly Fragrance. A Comparison of Late Byzantine and Ottoman Incense Burners and Censing Practices in Religious Contexts », Dumbarton Oaks Papers, vol. 69, 2015, p. 331-354.l'article se termine par la conclusion suivante  (p. 354) :In summary, there were more continuities thandiscontinuities; when rituals involving incense had similarvalences—and in many instances they did—thenboth practices and objects remained virtually the sameacross late Byzantine and Ottoman cultures. As the titleof this essay indicates, this was truly a shared culture offragrance. Indeed, fragrance itself is a useful metaphorfor cultural exchange: it can permeate spaces acrossphysical boundaries and take on the shape of thesespaces; it can appear to be everywhere and nowhere,concrete and fleeting at the same time; and those whoexperience the same fragrance may still attach differentmemories, emotions, and meanings to it.&#160;&#160;
