"Aleppo is one of the longest-surviving cities of the ancient and Islamic Middle East. Until recently it enjoyed a thriving urban life-in particular an active traditional suq, whose origins can be traced across many centuries. Its tangle of streets still follow the Hellenistic grid and above it looms the great Citadel, which contains recently-uncovered remains of a Bronze/Iron Age temple complex, suggesting an even earlier role as a 'high place' in the Canaanite tradition. In the Arab Middle Ages, Aleppo was a strongpoint of the Islamic resistance to the Crusader presence. Its medieval Citadel is one of the most dramatic examples of a fortified enclosure in the Islamic tradition. In Mamluk and Ottoman times, the city took on a thriving commercial role and provided a base for the first European commercial factories and consulates in the Levant. Its commercial life funded a remarkable building tradition with some hundreds of the 600 or so officially-declared monuments dating from these eras, and its diverse ethnic mixture, with significant Kurdish, Turkish, Christian and Armenian communities provide a richer layering of influences on the city's life. In this volume, Ross Burns explores the rich history of this important city, from its earliest history through to the modern era, providing a thorough treatment of this fascinating city history, accessible both to scholarly readers as well as to the general public interested in a factual and comprehensive survey of the city's past"--OCLC.

Jusqu’au XIXe siècle, les grands investissements publics urbains des villes musulmanes ne sont pas assurés par l’État mais par les waqfs, des fondations de gouverneurs et hauts fonctionnaires de l’administration impériale, de grands commerçants ou d’autres riches personnages. Au cours des siècles, les waqfs se juxtaposent et occupent peu à peu une part considérable de la masse urbaine. Si les waqfs ont fait l’objet de nombreuses études, celle-ci à la particularité de considérer le waqf d'une part comme une opération d’urbanisme et d’autre part comme un élément fonctionnel d’un quartier. Grâce à une analyse précise des bâtiments et des documents d’archives, Jean-Claude David reconstitue le processus d’implantation d’un waqf fondé par le wālī Ipšīr Pāšā en 1653 et suit l’évolution de son architecture et de ses fonctions jusqu’à l’heure actuelle, en liaison avec les changements politiques, socio-culturels et économiques. Cette méthodologie permet à l’auteur de se concentrer sur les problèmes d’intégration de cet équipement ancien, très spécifique à la ville actuelle, dans une zone où le tissu urbain traditionnel est menacé par une forte pression spéculative et où l’urgence d’un plan d’aménagement se fait sentir.

In Urban Autonomy in Medieval Islam Fukuzo Amabe offers the first in-depth study on autonomous cities in medieval Islam stretching from Aleppo and Damascus to Cordoba, Toledo and Valencia through Tunis during the late tenth to early twelfth centuries. Each city is treated separately to cull facts to prove its autonomy at least for a certain period. The Middle East was the first region to develop cities and then empires in ancient times. Furthermore, the Islamic world was the first to transform ancient political or farmer cities to economic and industrial ones consisting of notables and plebeians, followed by China, then parts of Western Europe.

As with most empires of the Early Modern period (1500-1800), the Ottomans mobilized human and material resources for warmaking on a scale that was vast and unprecedented. The present volume examines the direct and indirect effects of warmaking on Aleppo, an important Ottoman administrative center and Levantine trading city, as the empire engaged in multiple conflicts, including wars with Venice (1644-69), Poland (1672-76) and the Hapsburg Empire (1663-64, 1683-99). Focusing on urban institutions such as residential quarters, military garrisons, and guilds, and using intensively the records of local law courts, the study explores how the routinization of direct imperial taxes and the assimilation of soldiers to civilian life challenged – and reshaped – the city’s social and political order.
