Portrait of a medieval India trader: Three letters from the Cairo Geniza
Open AccessD Goitein, S D Goıteın et al.ARTICLEBulletin of the School of…1987Cited by: 9
The first comprehensive survey of Geniza documents about the trade on the route to India was published by me in Speculum, A Journal of the American Medieval Academy, 29, 181-97, in April 1954. At that time I was able to give a report about 130 Geniza papers related in one way or another to the India trade. Soon after the article was published, a distinguished institution offered me the opportunity to publish the material in full. I accepted with …

Modern international business has its origins in the overseas trade of the Middle Ages. Of the various communities active in trade in the Islamic countries at that time, records of only the Jewish community survive. Thousands of documents were preserved in the Cairo Geniza, a lumber room attached to the synagogue where discarded writings containing the name of God were deposited to preserve them from desecration. From them Professor Goitein has s…

Nicknames as Family Names
D Goitein, S D Goıteın et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…1970Cited by: 2
The writings of the Cairo Geniza (10th through 13th centuries) show that derisive nicknames served as family names even in official documents handed over to the parties concerned. After a short general survey of the use of by-names (alqab) in Arabic and Hebrew literatures, the development of a nickname into a family name is demonstrated by an example from the ethno-linguistic studies of the author among the Jews of Yemen. The main part of the pap…

Two Eyewitness Reports on an Expedition of the King of Kīsh (Qais) against Aden
Open AccessD Goitein, S D Goıteın et al.ARTICLEBulletin of the School of…1954Cited by: 8References: 1
Arabic documents containing eyewitness reports on historical events are very rare. They are the more welcome when they complement and illustrate the often very deficient literary sources. This is the case with the excerpts from two business letters of the 12th century published here, one sent from Aden to India and one from the same town to Cairo. Both passages describe one and the same event: the attack on Aden by a fleet sent by the King of Kīs…

A Plea for the Periodization of Islamic History

WHY PERIODIZATION? Why should we break up the grand course of Islamic history into periods, neatly defined by dates and labelled with specific characteristics? The science of Islamic studies already has become dangerously morselled because of the specialization necessitated by subject matter, such as language, literature, history, sociology and economics, theology, mysticism, law, philosophy, sciences and medicine, art and archaeology, epigraphy …
