I am grateful for the important contributions that many scholars have made to this task. As a student at the Universitat de Barcelona in the first half of the 1980s I was guided by Professor Carlos Martínez Shaw, under whom I later defend- ed my doctoral dissertation in 1993. In between, from 1989 to 1992, I was able to converse almost daily with Professor Antonio Miguel Bernal Rodríguez of the Departamento de Historia Económica of the Universidad de Sevilla, who facilitated my entry to the university. Since 1996 I have again been in almost daily contact with Professor Josep María Delgado Ribas, first at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (1992–1 996) and up to the present at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. In the 1990s I worked in various ways with Dr. Wolfgang Kaiser of the Université Paris I Panthéon- Sorbonne: I taught as a visiting professor in his department in 2008–2009, and later joined the project Mediterranean Re- configurations. Commercial Litigation, Cross- Cultural Trade and Legal Pluralism in the Mediterranean, 15th- 19th Centuries (Advanced Grant erc no. 295868), which he directed from 2012 to 2017. This book owes a great deal to Dr. Kaiser, especially in its essential formulation. During all these years I have been ac- tive in research projects at the Universidad de Sevilla, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and Universitat Pompeu Fabra. The two most recent, directed by Josep María Delgado Ribas, were Dentro y fuera: Cambio institucional e in- tegración social y cultural en el Imperio español contemporáneo, 1550–1 950, ref. HARD2015- 68183- p (2016– 2018) and Eclipse imperial: transición y emergen- cia de nuevas estructuras políticas en América, Asia y África (1750– 1950), ref. HARD2012- 39352- CO2- 01 (2013– 2016). From the four professors named above I learned almost everything that I write about in this book. I have received valuable support from many scholars and friends who have taught me a great deal. Andreu Seguí Beltrán, Manuela Marín Niño, Alfonso Carlos Bolado Nieto, and Helena de Jesús de Felipe Rodríguez have read, com- mented on, and corrected the entire text. I have profited from discussions with others who have read individual chapters: Antonio Miguel Bernal Rodríguez, Sadok Boubaker, Miguel Ángel Bunes Ibarra, Lizbeth Chaviano Pérez, Josep María Delgado Ribes, María Fusaro, Gema García Fuentes, Gonçal López Na- dal, Eva Martín Corrales, Carlos Martínez Shaw, and Josep María Perlasia i Botey. And finally I thank my patient translator, Consuelo López- Morillas, who in my opinion has produced an admirable translation.

Casablanca, economic heart of the Kingdom, lives at a frenetic pace. Business and art go side by side here, often intermingling. It is here, above all, that tones and trends are set. Why is it that so many artists have found their inspiration in Casablanca? Perhaps the contrasting curves of its Art Deco buildings are enough to cast a spell over them.

  • La Alcazaba De Frajana', Un Modelo De Fortificación Islámica En El Siglo Xix
    LA ALCAZABA DE FRAJANA', UN MODELO DE FORTIFICACIÓN ISLÁMICA EN EL SIGLO XIX Antonio Bravo Nieto Aunque la fortificación militar es una de las ramas de la arquitectura más sujeta a las necesidades de innovación y cambio, en fortificación islámica no son extraños los ejemplos que se ciñen a tipologías arcaicas y sistemas de construcción tradicionales, a pesar de corresponder a cronologías muy avanzadas. En este trabajo se analizará la alcazaba de Frajana, fortificación construida a final es del siglo XIX en la región rifeña de Guelaya, muy cerca de la ciudad de Melilla. Esta alcazaba ha suscitado numerosas confusiones por parte de los investiga­ dores2 y viajeros3 que han escrito sobre ella, lo que ha distorsionado su cronología y finalidad.

A Real (Royal) Alcázar in Seville, Spain. Designated as a UNESCO Heritage Site in 1987, the part-time royal residence is located a walk southeast of the Seville Cathedral. "Six different palaces have occupied this site since the Moorish g built his fortress here in the 10th century," said our Seville guide Calderón. "The fourth palace, built in the 14th century for King P the most important." Mudéjar architecture Seville's royal palace is different from Granada's Alhambra, whic by Moorish tradespeople for Muslim rulers. In contrast, Moorish the Alcázar for Christian kings and queens. Mudéjar art combines Islamic and Christian styles in the arches, ceramic tiles and decorations.

  • Historia Scribere 13 (2021)
    historia scribere 13 (2021) The Beginnings of an Empire. The Transformation of the Ottoman State into an Empire, demonstrated at the example of Grand Vizier Mahmud Pasha’s life and accomplishments Vera Flatz Kerngebiet: Neuzeit eingereicht bei: Yasir Yilmaz, MA PhD und Univ.-Prof. Dr. Stefan Ehrenpreis eingereicht im: WiSe 2019/20 Rubrik: Seminar-Arbeit Abstract The Beginnings of an Empire. The Transformation of the Ottoman State into an Empire, demonstrated at the example of Grand Vizier Mahmud Pasha’s life and accomplishments The following seminar paper deals with Grand Vizier Mahmud Pasha’s life and the processes that turned an Ottoman principality into the Ottoman Empire. Starting with Sultan Mehmed’s II appointment in 1444, important practic- es such as the nomination of a grand vizier changed significantly. Moreover, Mehmed II built a new palace which reflected the new imperial self-percep- tion, a new code of law was installed, and the empire was centralised. All these developments become especially visible in the life of Grand Vizier Mahmud Pasha Angelovic. The paper examines secondary literature as well as contem- porary sources of Kritobolous and Ibn Khaldun. Sources on Mahmud Pasha’s life are rare and need to be analysed with caution as his posthumous legend influenced the production of literature about his life. 1. Introduction Mahmud Pasha Angelovic, born at the beginning of the 15th century in a town in Ser- bia, became one of the most influential grand viziers of the Ottoman Empire. How did that happen? In 1453, Mehmed II conquered Constantinople and made it the capital of one of the biggest empires of the early modern period.

  • Muslims in Spain, 1492–​1814
    chapter 1 Muslims in Europe, Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries The Muslim presence in Central and Western Europe during the sixteenth, sev- enteenth, and eighteenth centuries was greater than had been thought, at least up to a few years ago. Eastern Europe, of course, was an entirely different case, especially in the Balkans, ruled by the Ottoman Empire – though it began to lose territory in the 1700s – and in large regions of southeastern Europe that were gradually absorbed into the Russian Empire. In certain areas of these ter- ritories Muslims either ruled or formed a majority, while in others they were a significant minority. Nor did they disappear from Balkan lands altogether, for there are still nuclei of Muslim populations outside the small area of European Turkey, as well as in much of southern Russia. We shall not be concerned with those cases here, however, since they are substantially different from those of Western Europe.1 As to Central and Western Europe, it has been and to some extent con- tinues to be thought that the Muslim presence in the Early Modern peri- od was scarce and brief, and therefore insignificant.2 But recent research has proved that it was much more significant than has been acknowledged until now. The step from seeing Muslims as a groupe invisible to regarding them as étrangers familiers represents a significant advance in our under- standing of the matter. We now have monographs on a considerable swath of European territory that show a good number of Muslims either visiting or living there for varying periods of time and many different reasons.3 We also have overall views for a few countries, particularly France,4 Great 1 Planhol, Les nations du Prophète/ Las naciones del Profeta; Mantran, Histoire de l’Empire musulman.
