The Question of Orientalism
Population and Revenue in the Towns of Palestine in the Sixteenth Century
Surveying the population and revenue of six Palestinian cities--Jerusalem, Hebron, Gaza, Ramie, Nabulus, and Safed--in the sixteenth-century, Amnon Cohen and Bernard Lewis consider the numbers, composition, and distribution of the Muslim, Christian, and Jewish population, and discuss the different headings of revenue, the manner of assessment and collection, the yield, and the destination of the money collected. This monograph traces these develo…

Freedom and Justice in the Modern Middle East
FOR MUSLIMS as for others, history is important, but they approach it with a special concern and awareness. The career of the Prophet Muhammad, the creation and expansion of the Islamic community and state, and the formulation and elaboration of the holy law of Islam are events history, known from historical memory or record and narrated and debated by historians since early times. In the Islamic Middle East, one may still find passionate argumen…
Osmanlı Hâkimiyetine Girmesinden Hemen Sonra Dimaşk'tan Bahseden Bir Yahudi Kaynak
5282 (m. 1521-22) yılında bir İtalyan Yahudisi Filistin'e yaptığı yolculuğa dair İbranice kısa bir seyahatname bırakmıştır. Şimdiye kadar bu seyahatnamenin herhangi bir yazması bilinmediği gibi müellifinin adı dahi bize ulaşmamıştı. Filistin'e yapılan seyahatlere dair eski bir İtalyan koleksiyonu içinde yer alan bu seyahatnamenin metni 1785 yılında Jacob Barukh b. Moshe Hayyim adlı biri tarafından Shibhhe Yerushalayim adıyla Leghorn'da yayınlanmı…
From Babel to Dragomans
Bernard Lewis is internationally recognised as an outstanding scholar and historian of Middle Eastern and Islamic history, who has charted the great centuries of Islamic power and civilisation but also, in his recent books What Went Wrong? and The Crisis Of Islam, Islam's calamitous and bitter decline. This book collects together his most interesting and significant essays, papers, reviews and lectures. They range from historical subjects such as…
The Crisis of Islam
The great scholar of Islam directly confronts the events of September 11th and the reasons behind Islamic terrorism in the modern world - a Sunday Times bestseller. President Bush has made it clear that we are engaged in a war against terrorism. But for Osama bin Laden and his followers this is religious war, a war for Islam against infidels, especially the United States, the greatest power in the world of the infidels. In this book Bernard Lewis…
What Went Wrong?
For a long time, people in the Midlle East have been asking themselves and each other this agonizing question - what went wrong? How did the most advanced, creative, flourishing, enlightened, and also the richest and most powerful civilization in the world lose both its strength and leadership and become - in various perspectives - the victim, the prey, the war, the pupil of the West. This book examines the different aspects of the encounter with…
The Turmoil within
Land of Enchanters
Several civilizations have risen, flourished and fallen in the valley of the Nile, each with its own religion, language, culture, institutions and style of life. Yet beneath them all a certain basic unity persisted. In few fields can this continuity of social life be seen more clearly than in the love of tales and in the manner of telling them. One of the oldest stories known to humanity, that of Sinuhe, shows a subtlety, a self-consciousness and…

Most of the modern states of the Middle East are of recent origin, yet the region is the birthplace of three religions and many civilizations. Bernard Lewis, one of the world's most respected historians of the Middle East, discusses the countries and frontiers; their religions and communities; language and loyalties to place, and Middle Eastern perceptions of outsiders. He also considers the effect of alien ideas and influences including liberali…

The Middle East
As the Birthplace of three religions and many civilizations, the Middle East has for centuries been a center of knowledge and ideas, of techniques and commodities, and, at times, of military and political power. With the historical - and still growing - importance of the Middle East in modern politics, historian Bernard Lewis's cogent and scholary writing brings a wider understanding of the cultures of the region to a popular audience. In this im…

Islam and Liberal Democracy
Islam and Liberal DemocracyA Historical Overview Bernard Lewis (bio) In a necessarily brief discussion of major issues, it is fatally easy to go astray by misuse or misinterpretation of some of the words that one uses. Therefore, I ought to say first what I mean by the terms "Islam" and "liberal democracy." Democracy nowadays is a word much used and even more misused. It has many meanings and has turned up in surprising places—the Spain of Genera…

Race and Slavery in the Middle East
From the time of Moses up to the 1960s, slavery was a fact of life in the Middle East. But if the Middle East was the last region to renounce slavery, how do we account for its — and especially Islam's — image of racial harmony? This book explores these questions. The research presented in this book was first undertaken as part of a group project on tolerance and intolerance in human societies. The group project was never completed but the materi…
The Assassins
The Assassins is a comprehensive, readable, and authoritative account of history's first terrorists. An offshoot of the Ismaili Shi'ite sect of Islam, the Assassins were the first group to make systematic use of murder as a political weapon. Established in Iran and Syria in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, they aimed to overthrow the existing Sunni order in Islam and replace it with their own. They terrorized their foes with a series of dramat…

Some Reflections on the Decline of the Ottoman Empire
The decline of great Empires has always been a subject of fascinated interest, and in our own day has a new poignancy, both for those who rejoice and for those who weep at the passing of Imperial greatness. The decline of the Ottoman Empire has also received its share of attention, though not of serious study. (2) The half-millennium of Ottoman history is still one of the most neglected of fields of study, and recent research, both in Turkey and …

Book Reviews in novels to reflect sociological and historical happenings and influences, and to examine it closely, is not only to discover this but also to scrutinize fundamental factors, such as the writers themselves and the role of the novel in general.Both organic and psychological illness are encountered and the four scholarly essays discussing them are of excellent quality.It is, however, difficult to get at the discussions of the diseases…

The first was Islam, the traditional basis of the Ottoman Empire and its Muslim predecessors, since refurbished in the pan-Islamic policies of Sult…

The Muslim Discovery of Europe
I suppose that most textbooks of European history or of world history—which in European textbooks is much the same thing—contain a chapter called ‘The Age of the Discoveries’, or something of the kind, which deals with the period from the fifteenth century onwards when Western Europe set about discovering the rest of the world. My subject to-day is another and earlier discovery, in which the West European was not the explorer going forth to disco…

An Ismaili Interpretation of the Fall of Adam
During a recent stay in Cairo, I found in the Taimūr ̄ya library a manuscript copy of an interesting Ismaili work entitled Kitābu'1-Iḋāḥ wa'1-Bayān, by the Yemenite dā'i Ḥusain ibn 'Ali. The manuscript is of 165 pages, 16 by 23 cms., in two hands—the first till p. 70, at 22 lines per page, the second pp. 71–165 at 19 lines per page. The first and last lines of each page are in red ink throughout. The copy was started by the Sharif 'Abdullah Abū Y…

A Jewish Source on Damascus just after the Ottoman Conquest
In the year 5282 (A.D. 1521-2) an Italian Jew made a pilgrimage to Palestine, of which he left a brief record in Hebrew. Until the present year, no manuscript of this work was known,, and even the author's name had not come down to us. The text was preserved in an old Italian collection of Palestine Itineraries, published in Leghorn in 1785, under the name of Shibhḥē Yěrūshālāyim, by one Jacob Bārūkh b. Mōshe Ḥayyim, and several times reprinted s…

An Apocalyptic Vision of Islamic History
During the first four centuries of Islamic rule Messianic hopes ran high among the peoples of the Caliphate. Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians, subjected to the rule of a new and alien religion, cherished and embellished their traditions of a Messiah or Saoshyant of a God-chosen line who, in God's time, would come or return to the world, end the sufferings of the faithful and the dominion of their opponents, and establish the kingdom of God upon…
The Ottoman Archives as a Source for the History of the Arab Lands
One of the classical difficulties of the student of the history of the Islamic Middle East, as contrasted with his colleagues in the European field, is the lack of archive material. While the western medievalist, for example, has at his disposal a mass of records, central and local, public and private, political, administrative, judicial, and ecclesiastical, the orientalist has to rely for the most part on literary and archæological sources. In m…

In a recent article on Ya'qūb Pasha, the Jewish physician of Sultan Meḥmed II, Professor F. Babinger cites two passages from the brief account of the career of Ya'qūb given by A. Galanté in his Médecins Juifs au service de la Turquie. The first tells of the arrival of Ya'ūb in Edirne during the reign of Murād II, of his service with Murād and Meḥmed II, and gives the text of an alleged ferman exempting Ya'qūb and his descendants from all taxation…
Some Observations on the Significance of Heresy in the History of Islam
Saladin and the Assassins
In the year 577/1181-2, in a letter to the Caliph in Baghdad explaining his activities in Syria, Saladin writes that he is engaged in a struggle for Islam against a three-fold enemy-the infidel Frankish invader, the heretical and murderous Assassins, and the treacherous Zangid rulers of Mosul, whom he accuses of intelligence and even alliance with both Franks and Assassins
