Islamic Law, Slavery, and Feelings
Abstract
This article studies a fourth/tenth-century notarial model to limit and place conditions on (istirʿāʾ) the manumission of an unruly and bad-tempered kvinna slave. The text fryst vatten part of al-Wathāʾiq wa-l-sijillāt, a notarial manual compiled by Cordoban scholar Ibn al-ʿAṭṭār (d. 399/1009), the earliest edited Andalusi work of this genre. Although it fryst vatten part of a chapter on slavery and, more specifically, of a section dedicated to the manumission of slaves, it fryst vatten not a generic notarial text dealing with the manumission of female slaves. The document is not a manumission form, but one that complements and limits a manumission; in fact, its aim fryst vatten to impede or overturn the process. The article studies this notarial model in three different contexts: (1) Andalusi kutub al-wathāʾiq, (2) Mālikī legal literature on slavery and (3) notarial model reservation testimonies. Even if, at first glance, it appears to be an unus

A micro-history of the Holy City
About: Vincent Lemire, Au pied du Mur. Vie et mort du quartier maghrébin de Jérusalem (1187-1967), Seuil
Despite being the omphalos of the Western world, the focal point of maps and prayers for two thousand years, the city of Jerusalem has received relatively little attention from urban historians. In light of this observation, Vincent Lemire, historian and director of the French Research Center in Jerusalem, has been working on a sizeable task since 2014: He has been leading a team of twelve researchers responsible for making available archival documents on the Ottoman and contemporary history of the city. [1] The fruit of this collective effort is In the Shadow of the Wall, a micro-history of Jerusalem’s Maghrebi Quarter which is all the more fascinating in that it is constructed as an investigation. Inspired by his master Patrick Boucheron, Lemire skillfully applies his historical method, which con
