Abstract

"The Courts of the Deccan Sultanates In the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, courtliness was crucial to the political and cultural life of the Deccan. Divided between six states competing for territory, resources, and skills, the medieval and early modern Deccan was a region of striking ethnic, linguistic, and religious diversity. People used multi-faceted trans-regional networks--mercantile, kinship, friendship and intellectual--to move across the Persian-speaking world and to find employment at the Deccan courts"--

Abstract

A History of the Modern Middle East offers a comprehensive assessment of the region, stretching from the fourteenth century and the founding of the Ottoman and Safavid empires through to the present-day protests and upheavals. The textbook focuses on Turkey, Iran, and the Arab countries of the Middle East, as well as areas often left out of Middle East history—such as the Balkans and the changing roles that Western forces have played in the region for centuries—to discuss the larger contexts and influences on the region's cultural and political development. Enriched by the perspectives of workers and professionals; urban merchants and provincial notables; slaves, students, women, and peasants, as well as political leaders, the book maps the complex social interrelationships and provides a pivotal understanding of the shifting shapes of governance and trajectories of social change in the Middle East. Extensively illustrated with drawings, photographs, and maps, this text skillfully integrates a diverse range of actors and influences to construct a narrative that is at once sophisticated and lucid. A History of the Modern Middle East highlights the region's complexity and variation, countering easy assumptions about the Middle East, those who governed, and those they governed—the rulers, rebels, and rogues who shaped a region.

Abstract

Durant les derniers siècles du Moyen Âge, Aden, grand port du Sud de l'Arabie, solidement arrimé aux pans d'un volcan insulaire, occupa une place exceptionnelle sur la route des épices, entre Orient et Occident. Escale essentielle pour les navires, où se croisaient marchands et produits les plus recherchés, relais majeur de la propagation de l'islam dans l'aire indo-océanique, Aden fut la pièce maîtresse d'une politique de vaste ampleur, menée avec obstination par les sultans rasulides du Yémen. Fondée en 1229, la dynastie rasūlide imposa en effet jusqu'en 1454 son autorité et son hégémonie sur l'ensemble du Sud de la péninsule Arabique. Dominant la mer Rouge, craint et respecté par les tribus de l'Arabie et les puissances riveraines de l'océan Indien, l'État rasūlide eut une longévité remarquable en construisant pour partie sa réussite sur l'ouverture de l'Arabie au grand commerce : des rivages d'Aden aux citadelles du Yémen, des portes de La Mekke aux marchés d'Alexandrie, des routes de l'Abyssinie aux vaisseaux de l'Inde. L'histoire du grand commerce oriental et celle du Yémen médiéval ont été longtemps écrites l'une sans l'autre, l'étude d'Éric Vallet permet enfin de les confronter. Abondamment nourrie par des sources originales – archives administratives et fiscales rasulides récemment découvertes –, et des corpus peu connus – l'historiographie du Yémen et de La Mekke –, cette somme érudite met en lumière les ambitions et les conflits qui animèrent l'un des coeurs de l'économie mondiale à la fin du Moyen Âge.

Abstract

During the early Ottoman period (1300-1453), scholars in the empire carefully kept their distance from the ruling class. This changed with the capture of Constantinople. From 1453 onwards, the Ottoman government co-opted large groups of scholars, usually over a thousand at a time, and employed them in a hierarchical bureaucracy to fulfill educational, legal and administrative tasks. Abdurrahman Atçıl explores the factors that brought about this gradual transformation of scholars into scholar-bureaucrats, including the deliberate legal, bureaucratic and architectural actions of the Ottoman sultans and their representatives, scholars' own participation in shaping the rules governing their status and careers, and domestic and international events beyond the control of either group.
