Description
Ce livre se propose d'éclairer l'une des périodes les moins connues de l'histoire de l'Égypte musulmane, le XVIe siècle, à travers son pan le moins étudié: le monde rural. Une fois l'Égypte conquise (1517), les Ottomans ont porté un intérêt majeur aux campagnes, première source de revenus de l'État; leur souci d'en dresser l'inventaire a produit un ensemble exceptionnel d'archives, partiellement conservées. Elles règlementent ou enregistrent les statuts fonciers, l?organisation fiscale et la répartition des pouvoirs et de l'autorité au sein des villages et font percevoir la large autonomie dont jouissaient les communautés rurales. Cependant l'apparente uniformité du monde des villages et de la société paysanne que transmettent les archives masquait des inégalités et une diversité considérables. Premier siècle dont sont conservés les registres, le XVIe siècle éclaire rétrospectivement le régime antérieur, mamelouk, et permet de comprendre les évolutions ultérieures de l'époque ottomane. This book aims at studying the history of Islamic Egypt during a little-known time period (the 16th century) through the lens of its rural world, an even lesser-known reality. Following their conquest of Egypt in 1517, the Ottomans developed a lasting concern for the countryside, as it represented a major source of state income. Their attempt to assess and harness its resources brought about an exceptional set of archival records, part of which remain extant to date. These archives retain information on land regimes and fiscal organisation as well as shedding light on the distribution of power and authority within rural societies. Despite giving evidence on the wide-ranging autonomy that local peasant communities could enjoy, such records still impart uniformity to highly diverse and unequal societies. Studying 16th-century Egypt in this way is thus insightful to understand its former Mamluk history as well as its evolutions to come during Ottoman times.
