Written by J. Sauvaget and M. Écochard, the descriptions and illustrations contained in this book are intended to be representative of the art of Damascus in the Ayyubid period in the broad sense.There are a series of tombs (Ṣafwat al-Molk, Farroukh-Châh, Bahrâm-Châh, Miṯqâl), madrasas (Djahârkasiya, Raiḥâniya, ‛Aḏrawiya,‛ Izziya hors-les-murs, ‛Âdiliya, Mâridâni hors-les-murs,‛ Âdiliya- the-walls), cenotaphs (Fâṭima, Abân, Badr, the emir Altountâch, Sokaina, Bilâl), as well as several epitaphs, the three Ayyubid baths of Damascus and dar al-Ḥadith of Nour ad-Din.The editor has also found it useful to include a bibliography of epigraphic and archaeological publications that have addressed the issue.

Abstract

The analysis of a large sample of probate inventories has led to several conclusions concerning the state of the Damascene family and society towards 1700.Despite immigration to the city, Damascus did not experience any significant expansion at this time. Families were largely monagomous, and contrary to what travellers had assumed, were composed of two or three children, hardly enough to ensure a natural growth for the city.Patrimonial hierarchy and structures suggest the existence of an inegalitarian society. This society was dominated by a group of important merchants intimately associated by marriage ties and also by personal interest to the principal shaykh families as well as the military milieu which, despite their having been reined in by the central political authority, still managed to wield economic and social importance. The weight of family heritage in the personal destiny of individuals was considerable at all levels in this society, although individual social promotion was not a completely unknown phenomenon. Cohesional factors did however exist in all strata of society, albeit strictly among males, such as participation in the pilgrimage and the role of shaykhs as transmitters of cultural and religious patrimony.

Abstract

Cette étude se concentre sur l’histoire monumentale de la ville de Damas au XVIe siècle et au début du XVIIe siècle. Si cette problématique n’est pas nouvelle, cet ouvrage s’appuie sur de nouveaux documents et compare Damas à d’autres villes de l’Empire ottoman. Les actes de Waqf fournissent par exemple un grand nombre d’informations précises sur les constructions de bâtiments et leur architecture, sur la topographie de la ville, les transformations subies dans le tracé des rues ou le noyau urbain. L’auteur s’interroge également sur les motivations qui poussent l’État et ses représentants à effectuer ces activités de construction dans une période pendant laquelle la ville ne connaît, apparemment, aucun essor économique et démographique notable. Ce livre permet donc de comprendre de nombreux aspects de la vie économique et sociale, mais aussi de l’histoire religieuse et juridique de la ville à cette époque.

Abstract

This study on the suburb of Midan in Damascus (Syria) covers all the neighbourhoods located south of Bab al-Mousalla before the explosion of urban growth. Until the implementation of the urban plans of Danger (1937), then of Ecochard and Benshoya (1968), the Midan changed little. During the 1990s, the old suburb was transformed and coexisted with the new extensions of Grand Damascus. Using maps, plans, sections, diagrams and sketches, this work therefore aims to describe the old structure of the neighbourhood, to take stock of its condition and to understand the transformations underway at that time. The author analyzes the centrality of Midan, the hierarchical structure of these roads, the general outline of the suburb and its relations with the Damscene territory and Ghouta.
