Over the last decade or two, the field of Middle Eastern and
Islamic studies has witnessed the convergence of new perspectives
on the history of epidemic diseases. A growing body of scholarship
enables us to explore connections between Middle Eastern studies
and the histories of medicine and health. This study serves as
testimony that the field has reached a certain level of maturity.
Contributors to the volume tackle various questions of
historiography and sources, test new interdisciplinary
methodologies, and ask new questions while revisiting older ones.
Essays in the volume discuss diseases that affected human and
non-human populations in areas stretching from the Red Sea and
Egypt to Anatolia, the Balkans, and the Black Sea, in the early
modern and modern eras. The volume contributes to Ottoman studies,
the history of medicine, Mediterranean and European history, as
well as global studies on the role of epidemics in history.
