The present book investigates three short late Mamluk treatises about land properties (waqf) in the Palestinian city of Hebron, which the prophet Muhammad granted to Tamīm al-Darī. The treatise entitled Ḍawʾ al-sārī li-maʿrifat ḫabar Tamīm al-Dārī by al-Maqrīzī (d. 845/1442) is the core of the book. It is edited here for the first time on the sole basis of the copy corrected by the author. A facsimile of the manuscript is also provided at the end of the book. In order to illuminate the discourse on property rights and donation that prevailed in the Mamluk period and al-Maqrīzī’s position, two additional treatises dealing with the same issue are included. The first is al-Ǧawāb al-ǧalīl ʿan ḥukm balad al-Ḫalīl by Ibn Ḥaǧar al-ʿAsqalānī (d. 852/1448). The second is al-Faḍl al-ʿamīm fī iqṭāʿ Tamīm by al-Suyūṭī (911/1505). The three texts are fully translated and annotated and preceded by a thorough introduction.

This book deals with various manifestations of charity or giving in the contexts of the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim societies in Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages. Monotheistic charity and giving display many common features. These underlying similarities reflect a commonly shared view about God and his relations to mankind and what humans owe to God and expect from him. Nevertheless, the fact that the emphasis is placed on similarities does not mean that the uniqueness of the concepts of charity and giving in the three monotheistic religions is denied. The contributors of the book deal with such heterogeneous topics like the language of social justice in early Christian homilies as well as charity and pious endowments in medieval Syria, Egypt and al-Andalus during the 11th-15th centuries. This wide range of approaches distinguish the book from other works on charity and giving in monotheistic religions.

Los estudios aquí incluidos se enmarcan todos en el área geográfica que comprende el actual territorio de Marruecos extendido por el Este hasta incluir Orán. Se trata del territorio norteafricano de más intensa imbricación con la Península Ibérica y el único en no estar bajo el dominio otomano. La intensidad de las relaciones entre la Península y el Magreb se debe en gran parte a la población judía, verdadera mediadora entre estos dos conjuntos religiosos, culturales y políticos. Los judíos tuvieron que vivir en un ambiente fronterizo y adoptaron estrategias que dejaron una profunda huella en el judaísmo moderno. En este libro se habla de judíos y también de conversos al cristianismo o de criptojudíos. Los contactos de los judíos magrebíes con las comunidades peninsulares son constantes y la existencia de conversos, de «cristianos nuevos», es uno de los problemas más importantes de los primeros siglos de la Edad Moderna española. La historia de estas comunidades forma parte, pues, de la historia de España como de la del Magreb: aparente paradoja que estas actas contribuyen a esclarecer y definir en su justa escala.
