Sijpesteijn. 330 $aFor four decades Abraham L. Udovitch has been a leading scholar of the medieval Islamic world, its economic institutions, social structures, and legal theory and practice. In pursuing his quest to understand and explain the complex phenomena that these broad rubrics entail, he has published widely, collaborated internationally with other leading scholars of the Middle East and medieval history, and most saliently for the purposes of this volume, taught several cohorts of students at Princeton University. This volume is therefore dedicated to his intellectual legacy from a uniquely revealing angle: the current work of his former students. The papers in this volume range chronologically from the period preceding the rise of Islam in Arabia to the Mamluk era, geographically from the Western Mediterranean to the Western Indian Ocean and thematically from the political negotiations of Christian and Islamic Mediterranean sovereigns to the historiography of Western Indian Ocean port cities. 410 0$aIslamic history and civilization ;$vv. 79. 606 $aCivilization, Arab 606 $aIslamic civilization 606 $aCivilization, Medieval 607 $aMiddle East$xCivilization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCivilization, Arab. 615 0$aIslamic civilization. 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval. 676 $a956/.01 701 $aMargariti$b Roxani Eleni$f1969-$0940662 701 $aSabra$b Adam Abdelhamid$f1968-$0940663 701 $aSijpesteijn$b Petra$0742186 701 $aUdovitch$b Abraham L$0210753 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461590403321 996 $aHistories of the Middle East$92121164 997 $aUNINA
