Oman’s Transregional Connections to Sindh and Gujarat
Studies that look at transregional connections between the Arabian Peninsula and South Asia have so far focused mainly on links between Yemen and South Asia (Bonnenfant: 2000; Akkerman 2022). Oman, which occupies a strategic place on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, has not yet received significant scholarly attention. Drawing on fieldwork in Oman, this paper explores Oman’s ties to South Asia, specifically to the regions of Sindh…
A pre-Mongol New Persian legal document from Islamic Khurāsān dated ah 608/1212 ce
Since the 1990s several caches of New Persian documents have come to light in Afghanistan.

After a brief survey of the three main collections in which these …

In the first part, we introduce the ṣadr and his department, the dīwān al-ṣadāra . In the second part, we study how the scribal and archi…

E. Sheikh al-Hokamaee. La vision religieuse des Safavides, la conservation des archives pré-safavides et l’altération des documents
After an introduction to the role of Islamic shrines and their administrators in preserving legal and administrative documents (p. 137-140), the author examines the ‘shiʻitizationʼ (p. 140-154), from the Safavid period onwards, of four endowment deeds (dated 715/1315, 825/1422, 860/1456 and 899/1485) and a secular decree (803/1401) from the south-west Iranian province of Fārs. The four endowment deeds are related to the sanctuary (boqʻe) of the S…
