Families were largely monagomous, and contrary to what travellers had assumed, were composed of two or three children, hardly enough to ensure a natural growth for the city.Patrimonial hierarchy and structures suggest the existence of an inegalitarian society. This society was dominated by a group of important merchants intimately associated by marriage ties and also by personal interest to the principal shaykh families as well as the military milieu which, despite their having been reined in by the central political authority, still managed to wield economic and social importance. The weight of family heritage in the personal destiny of individuals was considerable at all levels in this society, although individual social promotion was not a completely unknown phenomenon. Cohesional factors did however exist in all strata of society, albeit strictly among males, such as participation in the pilgrimage and the role of shaykhs as transmitters of cultural and religious patrimony.Publications de l'I.F.E.A.D. ;148.Sociology & Social HistoryHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCSocial ConditionsHILCCDamascus (Syria)Social conditionsDamascus (Syria)Economic conditionsmobilité socialesociétéSyrieéconomieDamasSociology & Social HistorySocial SciencesSocial ConditionsEstablet Colette642292Pascual Jean-PaulRaymond AndréPQKBUkMaJRU9910140149903321Familles et fortunes à Damas2137330UNINA
