About
Nach der Eroberung Aleppos durch Saladin 1183 und vor der Zerstorung der Stadt durch die Mongolen 1260 erlebte Nordsyrien eine Epoche groaer Bluete. Aufgrund sehr verschiedenartiger Quellen schildert dieses Werk in einer groaangelegten Synthese erstmals und unter allen Aspekten die damalige Geschichte Aleppos und seines Territoriums. Betont wird die politische Rolle des Sultans von Aleppo, aber intensiv behandelt werden auch das Besondere der zivilen und militarischen Institutionen, die Entwicklung des religiosen Lebens, des Unterrichtswesens, der Kultur und der Stadtentwicklung sowie der wirtschaftliche Aufschwung und die gesellschaftliche Vielfalt. Dadurch treten erstmals bisher wenig bekannte Aspekte der Ayyubidendynastie ebenso hervor wie die besondere Rolle Nordsyriens innerhalb des mittelalterlichen Vorderen Orients. "In sum, this book is a truly awesome achievement. It is a work to be savored and read slowly. It is a veritable mine of information on a host of topics, major and minor. The book will undoubtedly serve as a reference work which will be of inestimable value not just to those specializing in twelfth and thirteenth-century Islamic dynastic history, but also to social and economic historians and scholars of the Crusades. Would that many another city and dynasty in the Islamic Middle Ages were subjected to an equally comprehensive but cool and objective analysis. This will be a hard act to follow." Journal of Economic and Social History of the Orient "In den Freiburger Islamstudien sind bereits zahlreiche wichtige und gewichtige Werke erschienen. Die Monographie von Edde setzt diese Reihe wuerdig fort. Man kann fuer dieses Buch nur voll des Lobes sein. ... im Aufbau und in der Darstellung sehr klar und in den Urteilen sehr vorsichtig und ausgewogen. Dem, der nur eine punktuelle Information sucht, wird der umfangreiche und sorgfaltig angelegte Index Auskunft geben." Zeitschrift fuer Geschichte der arabisch-islamischen Welt "Indeed, Edde's massive and encyclopedic new work will be of use to all historians of the medieval Levant. [a] In particular, the appendixes are of special value. They provide convenient summaries of carefully extracted raw data in tabular form on over fifty topicsa A work as exhaustive as this is testimony to the tireless energy of the scholar who produced it." Journal of Near Eastern Studies "She conscientiously weighs methods and materials, mentions the opinions of predecessors and takes into account the results of studies in neighbouring fields, enabling the reader to trace the careful considerations that lead to her conclusions. This work is a valuable addition to our knowledge, not only of Aleppo and its surroundings, but of the history of the Middle East in general." Bibliotheca Orientalis.
