Raouf Abbas Hamed 1939–2008
and President of the Egyptian Society of Historical Studies, was one of the most prominent historians in Egypt and the Arab world. He remained active in the field for more than forty years, producing a large number of publications, staying involved in public life, and in recent years, taking an active stand for academic freedom in Egyptian universities and against corruption in public life
Literacy and the ‘great divide’ in the Islamic world, 1300–1800
The study proposes an approach to the history of literacy in the Islamic world that uses a flexible and gradated definition of literacy. It goes on to propose some factors that lay behind the acquisition of certain forms of literacy and of the way that they were put into practical use. Among these factors were the religious factor, which had consequences on a broad region; commercial conditions, which were an impetus to make use of the written wo…
A Cairo Court Register
People mentioned in court records tend to be anonymous, but Ja'far Pasha is known from several different sources: his biography in al-Muhibbi's Khulasat al-athar shows him to be a man of learning and a successful military leader Dutch East India Company records mention him as Ottoman pasha in Yemen from 1607 to 1616 and Egyptian historical sources place him in 1617 or 1618 as governor of Egypt, where he died of the plague which bears his name ( f…
The Ottoman Empire and the World Around it
The Historiography of Islamic Egypt (c. 950-1800)
History writing in Islamic Egypt was highly developed and no country in the Middle East has a richer or more developed tradition. This book is a collection of essays by leading scholars in the field, examining different authors, their works and the intellectual climate in which they flourished. Due prominence is given to the great historians of the Mamluk period (c.1260-1517) but also to the less well-known writers of the Ottoman period. The essa…
Nommer les nouveaux territoires urbains
L'incertitude domine le débat sur les nouveaux territoires urbains, souvent perçus par défaut : non-ville, a-t-on dit durablement dans des revues savantes. La volatilité du vocabulaire qui désigne ces espaces est particulièrement sensible au cours des périodes d'extension urbaine forte et rapide, comme la fin du XIXe siècle ou les cinquante dernières années du XXe siècle. Les mots tentent alors leur chance et leur succès dépend de leur degré d'ap…

Le vocabulaire de la maison privée aux xviie et xviiie siècles
Depuis déjà un certain temps, les chercheurs qui travaillent sur l'habitat du Caire utilisent des fonds d'archives de différentes époques. Je signale en particulier les travaux de Jean-Claude Garcin, de Mona Zakariya et de Hazem-al-Sayyed. Le travail d'archives pose des problèmes liés au vocabulaire des éléments architecturaux, celui-ci étant sensiblement différent de celui qu'on utilise aujourd'hui. C'est grâce aux travaux de 'Adbul-Latif Ibrahi…
