For four decades Abraham L. Udovitch has been a leading scholar of
the medieval Islamic world, its economic institutions, social
structures, and legal theory and practice. In pursuing his quest to
understand and explain the complex phenomena that these broad
rubrics entail, he has published widely, collaborated
internationally with other leading scholars of the Middle East and
medieval history, and most saliently for the purposes of this
volume, taught several cohorts of students at Princeton University.
This volume is therefore dedicated to his intellectual legacy from
a uniquely revealing angle: the current work of his former
students. The papers in this volume range chronologically from the
period preceding the rise of Islam in Arabia to the Mamluk era,
geographically from the Western Mediterranean to the Western Indian
Ocean and thematically from the political negotiations of Christian
and Islamic Mediterranean sovereigns to the historiography of
Western Indian Ocean port cities.
