á¸awʾ al-sÄrÄ« li-maÊ¿rifat ḫabar TamÄ«m al-DÄrÄ« (On TamÄ«m al-DÄrÄ« and His Waqf in Hebron)
Critical edition, annotated translation and introduction by Yehoshua Frenkel
Series: - Bibliotheca Maqriziana, Volume: 2
Editor:
The present book investigates three short late Mamluk treatises about land properties (waqf) in the Palestinian city of Hebron, which the prophet Muhammad granted to TamÄ«m al-DarÄ«. The treatise entitled á¸awʾ al-sÄrÄ« li-maÊ¿rifat ḫabar TamÄ«m al-DÄrÄ« by al-MaqrÄ«zÄ« (d. 845/1442) is the core of the book. It is edited here for the first time on the sole basis of the copy corrected by the author. A facsimile of the manuscript is also provided at the end of the book. In order to illuminate the discourse on property rights and donation that prevailed in the Mamluk period and al-MaqrÄ«zÄ«âs position, two additional treatises dealing with the same issue are included. The first is al-ǦawÄb al-ǧalÄ«l Ê¿an ḥukm balad al-ḪalÄ«l by Ibn Ḥaǧar al-Ê¿AsqalÄnÄ« (d. 852/1448). The second is al-Faá¸l al-Ê¿amÄ«m fÄ« iqá¹ÄÊ¿ TamÄ«m by al-SuyÅ«á¹Ä« (911/1505). The three texts are fully translated and annotated and preceded by a thorough introduction.

"These editions are clear and straightforward. Prof. Frenkel has done his excellent work here as he has with the translations, which read well and are accurate. These works, along with the detailed introduction, are a great boon not only for al-Maqrīzī studies, but also for the social, cultural and economic history of the Mamluk Sultanate, the history of Palestine and the region of Hebron, questions of land tenure, legal studies, and early Islamic tradition and its later reception and ramifications. Prof. Frenkel's efforts here are impressive, and we should all be grateful with the result."
