Bøger af Amnon Cohen

Jerusalem was never just another Ottoman town, but in the heyday of the Ottoman Empire it displayed many of the characteristics of a Muslim traditional society. Professor Cohen uses the Arabic and Turkish archives to reconstruct a vivid and detailed picture of everyday life in this lively urban centre.

Includes studies that are based on the author's many years of research in the archives of the Shari'a courts in Jerusalem, as well as archives in Ankara and Istanbul, London and Paris, complemented by travellers' reports, diplomatic correspondence, and Arab chronicles of the Middle East.
