Muslim Tujjār of the Middle East and their Commercial Networks in the Long Nineteenth Century
Population Dilemmas in the Middle East
This study provides a general outline of Palestinian population growth between 1948 and 1987 and then focuses on the town of Nablus for a detailed analysis of the main aspects of Palestinian migration and high rates of natural increase. The author shows how the recession that struck the Arab oil economies in the early 1980s, by slowing down the migratory movement, shut off the valve that had afforded the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza rel…
The Qadi, the Big Merchant and Forbidden Interest ( ribā )
While the imposition of interest on loans is expressly forbidden by the Quran, over the generations Muslims in fact found it difficult to observe this prohibition and lent to and borrowed from one another. The Muslim big merchants (tujjār), who held large amounts of liquid capital, were prominent among the lenders. The religious prohibition on the one hand, and everyday constraints on the other, caused a certain cognitive dissonance among many ul…
The Baha’is of Iran, Transcaspia and the Caucasus
Despite growing interest in the Baha’is of Iran, research on the history of this often-persecuted minority community has been limited by the availability of sources. ‘The Baha’is of Iran, Transcaspia and the Caucasus’ will help to fill this gap by assembling for the first time original material from Russian archives. Volume 1 of this set showcases letters from the Rozen collection, including those of diplomats, army officers and scholars, candidl…
Resistance to Economic Penetration
European merchants and investors doing business in the Middle East during the long 19th century expected that commercial disputes in mixed cases would be conducted according to procedures and laws familiar to and accepted by them. In the Ottoman Empire and Egypt, mixed courts based on the French commercial code were established during that century. The Qajars, however, offered the foreign commercial community a different judicial institution: the…
The Rise and Fall of the Tujjār Councils of Representatives in Iran, 1884–85
In July 1884 Nāsir al-Dīn Shāh approved the establishment of councils of representatives of the big merchants (majālis-i wukalā-yi tujjār) in the main commercial centers of Iran. Within three to four months, the tujjār elected their councils in eighteen cities and towns in the country. These councils were to supervise commercial activities in Iran, encourage investments in new projects by big local merchants, and above all limit the involvement a…

Ottoman Palestine 1800 - 1914
Like other regions within the Ottoman Empire, Palestine at the turn of the nineteenth century underwent extensive economic and social changes. These encompassed the demography, society and economics of the various ecological groups of the population. The articles in this volume present different aspects of this long and complex process. They fall thematically into four groups. The first, which includes articles by U.O. Schmelz and Ruth Kark, focu…

Trends in the Development of Prices in Late Qajar Iran, 1870–1906
Monetary developments in Iran during the nineteenth century have remained, by and large, unexplored. The reason for this is all too familiar to economic historians: lack of sufficient data on prices. The Iranian central government during Qajar rule did not initiate a systematic collection of quantitative data on prices in the major urban centers and unofficial Iranian sources make only occasional reference to this issue. A recent check, however, …

The Persian Economy in the Mid-19Th Century
A new chapter in Persia's economic history started in the late 1860s and early 1870s. Although it is true that the deviation was not complete, and that certain economic changes were already becoming evident somewhat earlier, the more significant developments, which changed the economic structure of Persia and modernized its economic system, did not begin before the last thirty odd years of the 19th century. It is the aim of this study to present …
