題目 : A City Illuminated: A Noble Lineage in Ottoman Cairo

(内容) : Images of light and illumination are common to Sufi theology, nighttime religious devotions, and the social life of the religious nobility in Cairo in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. As the most prominent lineage of scholars and Sufis in Ottoman Cairo, the Bakri Lords combined a luxurious lifestyle with a commitment to spiritual leadership to create a distinct form of sociability that illuminated Cairo and beyond.

題目 : Local Power in an Imperial Context: The Rise and Fall of an Arab Shaykh in Sixteenth-Century Egypt

(内容) : Emir ʿĪsā b. Ismāʿīl, shaykh of the Banī ʿAwna, emir of al-Buḥayra, and twice emir of the Egyptian Hajj caravan, rose to unprecedented prominence in mid-sixteenth century Egypt. Allying himself with members of the Ottoman court at the end of the reign of Sultan Süleyman, he used political influence, bribery, and outright coercion to dominate much of the rural Nile Delta before his grand ambitions led to his downfall. His career provides a window into the dilemmas of Ottoman governance in rural Egypt, in which a limited military and administrative apparatus, the monetization of office holding through rural tax-farming, and Istanbul’s ambitions to use Egypt’s resources to fund larger imperial projects led it to empower tribal leaders, resulting in fierce local power struggles.
