Abstract

Patricia Crone reassesses one of the most widely accepted dogmas in contemporary accounts of the beginnings of Islam: the supposition that Mecca was a trading center. In addition, she seeks to elucidate sources on which we should reconstruct our picture of the birth of the new religion in Arabia.

Abstract

En 1905, l’administrateur colonial Paul Gillotte est chargé par le gouverneur général de l’Algérie d’accompagner des pèlerins algériens jusqu’à Djeddah, le port de La Mecque. Dans le rapport qu’il rédige à cette occasion, l’administrateur consigne soigneusement tous les événements intervenus à bord, à l’aller comme au retour. Mais, bien plus qu’un simple journal, Gillotte nous a laissé un véritable reportage sur l’organisation du pèlerinage à La Mecque à l’époque ottomane. Il consulte la presse, les archives du consulat de France, interroge des témoins, rencontre des personnalités locales. Avec l’opiniâtreté d’un grand reporter, Gillotte entend jeter la lumière sur ce qu’il appelle les « dessous du pèlerinage » : spéculations sur le prix de l’eau, trafic de billets retours, corruption des autorités locales… Le portrait qu’il dresse de l’Empire ottoman finissant est sans concession et sa description très personnelle du pèlerinage à La Mecque révélatrice de la mentalité coloniale de l’époque. Pendant la traversée et lors de son séjour au Hedjaz, Gillotte a également pris un centaine de photographies – reproduites dans cet ouvrage – qui constituent un témoignage précieux sur l’histoire du pèlerinage à La Mecque et les circulations en Méditerranée et en mer Rouge au début du XXe siècle.

Abstract

The British explorer Sir Richard F. Burton (1821-90) was a colourful and often controversial character. A talented linguist and keen ethnologist, he worked in India during the 1840s as an interpreter and intelligence officer for General Sir Charles Napier, and published several books about his experiences in 1851-2. He first gained celebrity, however, for his adventurous 1853 trip to Mecca, under the disguise of a pilgrim, which is described in this lively three-volume publication (1855-6). Few Europeans had ever visited the Muslim holy places; one of them was John Lewis Burckhardt, whose 1829 account is also reissued in this series. Volume 2 of Burton's book vividly describes the heat and dangers of the journey to Medina, the behaviour and conversation of the pilgrims from many different tribes and nations, and the mosques, tombs and other sights of the bustling city, complete with traders and beggars.

Abstract

The figure of the eunuch in non-Western cultures has long been an object of mystery and mystification to the West. The aim of this study is to go beyond sensationalism and stereotypes, to offer a sensitive reconstruction of the historical role of the eunuch in Islam.
