Breaching the Bronze Wall: Franks at Mamluk and Ottoman Courts and Markets
Breaching the Bronze Wall deals with the idea that the words of honorable Muslims constitutes proof and that written documents and the words of non-Muslims are of inferior value. Thus, foreign merchants in cities such as Istanbul, Damascus or Alexandria could barely prove any claim, as neither their contracts nor their words were of any value if countered by Muslims. Francisco Apellániz explores how both groups labored to overcome the ‘biases against non-Muslims’ in Mamlūk Egypt’s and Syria’s courts and markets (14th-15th c.) and how the Ottoman conquest (1517) imposed a new, orthodox view on the problem. The book slips into the Middle Eastern archive and the Ottoman Dīvān, and scrutinizes sharīʿa’s intricacies and their handling by consuls, dragomans, qaḍīs and other legal actors.
BİR KIRIK BEBEK
“…Takılıp kalmıştı bu geometri sorusuna. Ne yapsa olmuyordu. Olmadıkça kalem ile deftere uyguladığı baskı şiddeti artıyor, kâğıdı yırtma derecesine geliyordu… Doğruldu yerinden, ayağa kalktı. Geriye dönüp babasına doğru iki üç adım attı. Başında dikildi. Nerdeyse elli kilogramın da altına düşmüş babasının cılız bedenine baktı. Göğüs kaburga kemikleri görünüyordu. Gözleri çukurlaşmış, yüzünün çehresi erimiş, kupkuru olmuştu. Usulca babasının başının altındaki yastığa uzandı elleri. Onu incitmek istemezmiş gibi hafifçe yastığı aldı başının altından. Sağ eli ile babasının dağılmış bembeyaz saçlarını düzeltti. Eğildi, alnından öptü. Sonra ani bir hareketle iki ucundan tuttuğu yastığı babasının yüzüne bastırmaya başladı…….. “ *** Gerilim, dram ve psikolojik çözümleme üçlemesinde, ondan korkacak, ona kızacak, onu anlayacak, ona üzülecek, onu sevecek, ondan nefret edeceksin…
Virtue, Piety and the Law
In Virtue, Piety and the Law Katharina Ivanyi examines Birgivī Meḥmed Efendī’s (d. 981/1573) al-Ṭarīqa al-muḥammadiyya, a major work of pietist exhortation and advice, composed by the sixteenth-century Ottoman jurist, Ḥadīth scholar and grammarian, who would articulate a style of religiosity that had considerable reformist appeal into modern times. Linking the cultivation of individual virtue to questions of wider political, social and economic concern, Birgivī played a significant role in the negotiation and articulation of early modern Ottoman Ḥanafī piety. Birgivī’s deep mistrust of the passions of the human soul led him to prescribe a regime of self-surveillance and control that was only matched in rigor by his likewise exacting interpretation of the law in matters of everyday life, as much as in state practices, such as the cash waqf, Ottoman land tenure and taxation.
Combined Estrogen-progestogen Contraceptives and Combined Estrogen-progestogen Menopausal Therapy
Oral contraceptives for family planning worldwide have revolutionized the reproductive lives of millions of women since their introduction in the 1960s. Later on, a variety of side-effects including cardiovascular diseases was recognized. In response to these concerns, new generations of combined oral contraceptives were developed that featured lower dose of estrogen and newer, more potent progestogens. The effectiveness and ease of use of combined hormonal contraceptives suggest that they will continue to be used to a significant extent in the future. This ninety-first volume of IARC Monograp.
