Foreign merchants in cities like Istanbul, Damascus or Alexandria could barely prove any claim, as neither their contracts nor their words were of any value if countered by Muslims. Francisco Apella?niz explores how both groups labored to overcome these ?biases against non-Muslims? in the courts and markets of Mamluk Egypt and Syria of the 14th and 15th centuries, and how the Ottoman conquest (1517) imposed a new, orthodox view on the problem. The book dives into the Middle Eastern archive and the Ottoman Di?va?n , and scrutinizes the intricacies of sharia and the handling of these intracacies by consuls, dragomans, qad?i?s and other legal actors. 410 0$aMediterranean Reconfigurations ;$v2. 606 $aHistory 606 $aMuslims 606 $aIslam 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$y1250-1517 607 $aSyria$xHistory$y1260-1516 607 $aTurkey$xHistory$yOttoman Empire, 1288-1918 610 $aMiddle Eastern history 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aMuslims. 615 0$aIslam. 676 $a905 700 $aApella?niz$b Francisco$0889024 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910420855403321 996 $aBreaching the Bronze Wall: Franks at Mamluk and Ottoman Courts and Markets$91986338 997 $aUNINA
