Kampf um Kirchen : religiose Gewalt, heiliger Raum und christliche Topographie in Alexandria und Konstantinopel (4. Jh.) /
:
"Die beiden Städte Alexandria und Konstantinopel wurden im 4. Jh. n. Chr. - wie viele andere Metropolen des Römischen Reiches - von tiefgreifenden Unruhen erschüttert. Rivalisierende christliche Gruppen stritten um das lokale Machtgefüge, insbesondere um den Besitz der neu entstehenden christlichen Topographie. Diese gewaltsamen Auseinandersetzungen, etwa um die Apostelkirche, die Hagia Eirene, die Theonaskirche oder die Kirche im Kaisareion, hatten Auswirkungen auf viele Bereiche des städtischen Lebens. Denn die Gebetshäuser, die Konflikte und die Städte selbst begannen sich zu verändern, wo immer ,Kampf' und ,Kirche' aufeinanderstiessen. Die vorliegende Studie widmet sich dem ,Kampf um Kirchen' und seinen Folgen: der zunehmenden Christianisierung der Städte, der Sakralisierung von Kirchengebäuden und einer neuen Form von religiöser Gewalt" -- P. [4] of cover.

Le canal de Suez et l'Empire ottoman /
:
"17 novembre 1869 : le canal de Suez est inauguré en grandes pompes, en présence de l'impératrice Eugénie. Mais la construction du canal, débutée en 1859, ne s'est pas faite sans heurts. Ferdinand de Lesseps et la France ont en effet bataillé durant de longues décennies avant de convaincre l'Empire ottoman, dont l'Égypte n'était qu'une province, de son bien-fondé. Accusée d'être un instrument de colonisation de l'Égypte au profit de la France, la Compagnie universelle du canal de Suez, "État dans l'État", est très critiquée par l'Empire ottoman. Celui-ci craint qu'un canal maritime séparant matériellement l'Égypte du reste de l'Empire rende illusoire la souveraineté du sultan sur ce territoire, et ouvre la porte à une domination occidentale inacceptable. Cet ouvrage ne propose pas une énième histoire du canal de Suez ni sur le plan technique, ni sur le plan diplomatique, mais il entend combler une lacune considérable : l'étude de cette histoire du point de vue ottoman, des projets à l'exploitation en passant par la construction du canal. Procès, arbitrages, polémiques : bien avant la "crise de Suez" de 1956 liée à sa nationalisation, le canal était déjà au coeur d'un jeu de puissances entre Orient et Occident."--Page 4 of cover.

Sacred Law in the Holy City : The Khedival Challenge to the Ottomans as seen from Jerusalem, 1829-1841 /
:
The Muslim community's political and socio-economic role in Jerusalem under Ottoman administration during the 1830s is analyzed in this volume from a natural law perspective. A bitter political contest between Sultan Mahmud II and Muhammad Ali Pasha resulted in the military occupation of Syria and imposition of a brutal new political and legal regime which crushed the indigenous elites of southern Syria. Through a careful analysis of the archives of the Islamic law court of Jerusalem, the study offers a fresh appraisal of how the Ottoman Empire ruled Jerusalem and considers the Muslim response, elucidating the reasons for the breakdown of their relations with non-Muslim Ottoman subjects and differentiating the Ottoman understanding of law and government from that of their enemies, the Wahhabis.

Antique Dealing and Creative Reuse in Cairo and Damascus 1850-1890 : Intercultural Engagements with Architecture and Craft in the Age of Travel and Reform /
:
"The commodification of Islamic antiques intensified in the late Ottoman Empire, an age of domestic reform and increased European interference following the Tanzimat (reorganisation) of 1839. Mercedes Volait examines the social life of typical objects moving from Cairo and Damascus to Paris, London, and beyond, uncovers the range of agencies and subjectivities involved in the trade of architectural salvage and historic handicraft, and traces impacts on private interiors, through creative reuse and Revival design, in Egypt, Europe and America. By devoting attention to both local and global engagements with Middle Eastern tangible heritage, the present volume invites to look anew at Orientalism in art and interior design, the canon of Islamic architecture and the translocation of historic works of art"--

Ibrahim-i Gulshani and the Khalwati-Gulshani Order : power brokers in Ottoman Egypt /
:
In Power Brokers in Ottoman Egypt , Side Emre documents the biography of Ibrahim-i Gulshani and the history of the Khalwati-Gulshani order of dervishes (c. 1440-1600). Set mainly in Mamluk-Egypt, and in the century following the region's conquest by the Ottomans, this book analyzes sociopolitical dialogues at the geographic peripheries of an empire through the actions of and official responses to the Gulshaniyya network. Emre argues that the members of this Sufi order exerted social and political leverage and contributed significantly to the political culture of the empire and Egypt. The Gulshanis are uncovered as unexpected figures among the roster of influential players, in contrast with empire-centered historiographies that depict Ottoman ruling and learned elites as the primary shapers and narrators of the fates of conquered provinces and peoples. The Gulshanis' political and cultural legacy is situated within an analysis of perceptions of Sufism in the early modern Ottoman world.
