Founded in the northern suburbs of Damascus by Hanbali ulama who migrated from Palestine to Syria in the mid-12th century, the quarter developed into a city through waqf endowments. It has attracted the attention of historians and travelers for its unique location, popular movements and religious features. Through the study of local chronicles, topographies and archival sources and through modern field research, Toru Miura explores the history of the ??li?iyya quarter from its foundation to the early 20th century, comparing it to European, Chinese and Japanese cities. 410 0$aIslamic area studies (Brill) ;$vv. 2. 607 $aS?a?lih?i?yah (Syria)$xHistory 607 $aDamascus (Syria)$xHistory 676 $a953.91/44 700 $aMiura$b To?ru$f1953-$01485899 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797759503321 996 $aDynamism in the urban society of Damascus$93705191 997 $aUNINA
