The Geniza merchants of the eleventh-century Mediterranean -
sometimes called the 'Maghribi traders' - are central to
controversies about the origins of long-term economic growth and
the institutional bases of trade. In this book, Jessica Goldberg
reconstructs the business world of the Geniza merchants, maps the
shifting geographic relationships of the medieval Islamic economy
and sheds new light on debates about the institutional framework
for later European dominance. Commercial letters, business accounts
and courtroom testimony bring to life how these medieval traders
used personal gossip and legal mechanisms to manage far-flung
agents, switched business strategies to manage political risks and
asserted different parts of their fluid identities to gain
advantage in the multicultural medieval trading world. This book
paints a vivid picture of the everyday life of Jewish merchants in
Islamic societies and adds new depth to debates about medieval
trading institutions with unique quantitative analyses and
innovative approaches.
