Crafts and Craftsmen of the Middle East presents research on craft
workers within and outside the guild structure from the modern and
contemporary Mediterranean world. From the late sixteenth-century
Ottoman Empire to traditional style crafts in twentieth-century
Turkey and Egypt, the book surveys a multitude of traditions. It
begins in 1582 when Istanbul artisans paraded in front of Sultan
Murad III; moves through to the eighteenth-century struggles
between artisans and tax farmers in Tokat, the artisans of Cairo
and the craftsmen of Adana; and into nineteenth-century accounts of
Istanbul's women workers and Jewish butchers. This book is
essential to all those interested in the history of the culture and
society of the Islamic Mediterranean.
