Sweet Water on the Sea Route to China
Potable, or “sweet,” water was the foundation stone of maritime provisioning and, by implication, route planning on all but the shortest voyages in the premodern world. Without it, maritime trade and all other forms of seaborne exchange and circulation were effectively impossible. Yet water sources and technologies of transportation have been comparatively neglected in Indian Ocean history and archaeology. This paper rereads data from the ninth-c…
Yemen and India from the rise of Islam to 1500
The Jewish community of the Yemen is well known for having been amongst the oldest in the Arabian Peninsula with origins in the early first millennium ce , if not far earlier since oral traditions recall a first arrival even before the destruction of the First Temple in 587 bce . As one of the most important contemporary scholars of Yemenite Judaism, Yosef (Joseph) Tobi, and other scholars, have noted, this timeline has strongly impacted scholars…
Editor’s Introduction to “Legal Encounters on the Medieval Globe”
Chinese Porcelain and the Material Taxonomies of Medieval Rabbinic Law
Abraham's Luggage
From a single merchant's list of baggage begins a history that explores the dynamic world of medieval Indian Ocean exchanges. This fresh and innovative perspective on Jewish merchant activity shows how this list was a component of broader trade connections that developed between the Islamic Mediterranean and South Asia in the Middle Ages. Drawing on a close reading of this unique twelfth-century document, found in the Cairo Genizah and written in…
Chinese Porcelain and the Material Taxonomies of Medieval Rabbinic Law
Editor’s Introduction to “Legal Encounters on the Medieval Globe”
THE SEVEN ARTICLES gathered in this thematic issue analyze a variety of legal encounters ranging from South Asia to South and Central America, via the Horn of Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. According to its founding manifesto, connectivity is one of The Medieval Globe 's core foci: “the means by which peoples, things, and ideas came into contact with one another” during this era. As a system of ideas embodied in people and enacted on bodies…

Towards a Connected History of Equine Cultures in South Asia
This article explores ways that the concept of equine cultures, developed thus far principally in European and/or early modern and colonial contexts, might translate to premodern South Asia. As a first contribution to a history of equine matters in South Asia, it focuses on the maritime circulation of horses from the Middle East to Peninsular India in the thirteenth century, examining the different ways that this phenomenon is recorded in textual…
A Self-Conscious Art? Seeing Micro-Architecture in Sultanate South Asia
Founded by Oleg Grabar in 1983, Muqarnas is the first academic journal devoted to art, architectural history, archaeology, as well as all aspects of Islamic visual and material cultures, historical and contemporary. Full-length articles are accompanied by shorter submissions grouped under a separate section titled “Notes and Sources,” for which we particularly welcome studies that introduce textual and visual primary sources. Muqarnas is sponsore…

A Self-Conscious Art? Seeing Micro-Architecture in Sultanate South Asia
Tombstones, Texts, and Typologies
This article is a case study of an iconic symbol of Indonesian Islamization: the tombstones of al-Malik al-Sālih (d.696/1297 AD), believed to be the first Muslim Sultan of the polity of Samudra in Sumatra. The author questions the dominance of textualist approaches in Southeast Asian historical inquiry by applying the concept of the "integral cultural product"—in which text, visual content and material are equally important and interdependent. Th…

Brick, Timber, and Stone
A challenge to the widely perceived notion that the architecture of Gujarat is a stone-based tradition, this article (based on extensive fieldwork in Gujarat supported by the Society for South Asian Studies of the British Academy and the Fondation Max van Berchem, Geneva) explores the full range of materials available across the region and the economic and technological factors that condition their circulation. It suggests that brick and timber c…
The formation of the batu Aceh tradition in fifteenth-century Samudera-Pasai
Indonesia is currently the largest Muslim nation in the world; however, the understanding of when and especially how, Islam first reached maritime Southeast Asia is still far from clear. Written sources are sparse and often unreliable, archaeology is still in its infancy and the physical conditions in any case are not favourable to material survival. \n \nThis article contributes to this debate by highlighting rich but unexploited epigraphic mate…
From Cambay to Samudera-Pasai and Gresik–the export of Gujarati grave memorials to Sumatra and Java in the fifteenth century C.E
Of Jewels and Horses
“Seeing that c Ali Akbar is a merchant and knowledgeable about jewels and horses it i s probable that he will be able to administer ports in a fitting manner.” Events of 1056/1646, Lahawrī's Pādshāh Nāmah Though Cambay is Now a Provincial Backwater, for Over Five Centuries—between the late tenth and the mid-sixteenth centuries A.D.—it was the main port of western India, home to a cosmopolitan population of merchants and traders from all over Indi…
The English factory or Kothī gateway at Cambay
The port of Cambay in Gujarat was formerly one of the premier ports of western India and home to a rich and vibrant tradition of Islamic architecture and artistic patronage. This article presents a previously unpublished structure from Cambay, the Kothī gateway. Though commonly believed to have been constructed as part of the English factory at Cambay, the article demonstrates through stylistic analysis that the Kothī gateway in fact predates the…
“A collection of merits…”
The article contributes to the expanding documentation, and development of agendas, in the discussion of medieval Islamic architecture in South Asia. These agendas are concerned with the identification of different types of Muslim settlement and culture, and developing frameworks for analysis and periodization. The present buildings were effectively unpublished prior to this article. The article reads the two structures as expressions of the hybr…
