The largest of a network of fortifications, Karak castle became the administrative centre of an important Crusader lordship. After 1188 Karak and its territories were incorporated into the Ayyubid, Mamluk and Ottoman sultanates. This book traces the history of Karak and the surrounding lands during the Middle Islamic period (c.1100-1650 CE). The book offers an innovative methodology, combining primary textual sources (in Latin and Arabic) with archaeological data (principally the ceramic record) as a means to reconstruct the fluctuating economic relations between Karak and other regions of the Middle East and eastern Mediterranean. 410 0$aIslamic history and civilization ;$vv. 72. 606 $aAyyubids$xHistory 606 $aMamelukes$xHistory 606 $aIslamic civilization 607 $aKarak (Jordan : Province)$xHistory 615 0$aAyyubids$xHistory. 615 0$aMamelukes$xHistory. 615 0$aIslamic civilization. 676 $a956.95/6303 700 $aMilwright$b Marcus$01537073 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792456403321 996 $aThe fortress of the raven$93856560 997 $aUNINA
