Al-Asrūshanī's Jāmiʿ aḥkām al-ṣighār as a Source for the History of Childhood in Muslim Societies
A comprehensive compilation of legal rulings about children, one of particular historical utility and yet largely overlooked, is Muḥammad al-Asrūshanī's Jāmiʿ aḥkām al-ṣighār. It offers a rather holistic view of the legal status of Muslim children and, more importantly, insight into common concepts of childhood and attitudes to children in premodern Muslim societies. Moreover, although drawing on the written heritage of middle-class urban scholar…

Muslim Midwives
This book reconstructs the role of midwives in medieval to early modern Islamic history through a careful reading of a wide range of classical and medieval Arabic sources. The author casts the midwife's social status in premodern Islam as a privileged position from which she could mediate between male authority in patriarchal society and female reproductive power within the family. This study also takes a broader historical view of midwifery in t…
Herlihy’s Thesis Revisited
David Herlihy proposed ‘‘that we seek to evaluate, and on occasion even to measure, the psychological and economic investment which families and societies in the past were willing to make in their children’’ and suggested an alternative to both the ‘‘theory of discovered childhood [in Europe],’’ as introduced by Philippe Ariès and the notion of Lloyd DeMause that the historical evolution of child—parent relations in general formed a continuous an…
Liminal Craft, Exceptional Law
In this article, the first fruit of an ongoing research on the sociocultural history of midwifery in medieval Muslim societies, I trace the attitudes toward midwives as revealed in Arabic biographical, medical, and legal texts. These texts, the product of male scholars, mirror an ambivalent attitude toward midwives: a mixture of repressed admiration, open repulsion, and fear. Thus, midwives are almost totally absent from Islamic scriptures, and M…
Individualism and Conformity in Medieval Islamic Educational Thought
En las sociedades islámicas medievales, las convenciones culturales y las normas sociales tenían un papel importante en la educación, pero los pensadores musulmanes también prestaron atención a las diferencias individuales entre los estudiantes y a la necesidad de ajustar tanto el contenido de la enseñanza como los métodos educativos al contexto familiar de esos estudiantes, así como a sus habilidades personales, sus inclinaciones y sus aspiracio…
Infants, Parents and Wet Nurses
Infants, Parents and Wet Nurses
This volume examines early Islamic theories and practices of breastfeeding, their long-term social implications and their impact on the lives of women and children. In the light of the impediments to marriage created, according to Islamic law, by nonmaternal breastfeeding, the author also explores the role they have played in wider circles of social life: how they influenced the way relations between different families were established, reduced t…
Breast-Feeding in Medieval Islamic Thought
The way medieval Islamic writings discuss breast-feeding reflects not only general attitudes of adults toward children but also concepts that adults held of the first stages of socialization, the status of women, and the power relations that obtained within the family. The nursling's well-being was a central point of deliberation among Muslim religious scholars as well as physicians, whose understanding of the nursling's needs and of parental sen…
Normative Islam versus Local Tradition
En tant que pratique sanctionnee par la tradition monotheiste et d'une grande signification pour les societes proche-orientales pre-islamiques, l'islam a adopte la circoncision des hommes bien avant celle des femmes. Les descriptions de clitoridectomie telle qu'elles se pratiquent dans l'Egypte contemporaine, eclairent les attitudes ambivalentes a l'egard des enfants et particulierement des femmes. Bien que certaines meres soient tres affectueuse…

Infants, Children, and Death in Medieval Muslim Society
This paper deals with the rates and causes of infant and child mortality in medieval Muslim society and adults' reactions to this phenomenon. It sheds some light on the reality of children's lives, on the one hand, and on concepts of childhood which were prevalent among adults—at least in upper strata of urban society—on the other. The paper presents testimonies to the high rates of infant and child morality in Middle Eastern cities. It discusses…
Some Observations on Infanticide In Medieval Muslim Society
Infanticide is known to have been a common means of birth control from early, apparently even prehistoric, times. In societies that lacked any precise knowledge of the fertilization process and consequently methods for its prevention, infanticide was used more frequently than other known methods of population limitation, such as abstention from intercourse and abortion. Infanticide was expected to serve several functions: “general reduction in po…
