C. U. Werner, M. Szuppe, N. Michel, A. Fuess (eds.) - 334 p., 24 colour ill. Brepols, 2021. Languages: English, French, German. Hardback - This collection of articles traces the themes of family and of transmission in the early modern Middle East from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective. This volume brings together innovative contributions on the history and nature of families in the early modern Middle East, covering Central Asia, Iran, Ottoman Turkey and the Arab World from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century and beyond. It argues the importance of connecting the key concept of family in its widest possible meaning, whether descent group, lineage, household or dynasty, with the notion of transmission of knowledge, authority, status and power, and develops this idea through a pluridisciplinary and cross-regional approach. Based on primary sources in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish as well as art and material culture, the individual articles detail processes and dynamics of transmission, thus initiating a comparative dialogue. The editors are renowned cultural historians of the Middle East: Christoph U. Werner holds the Chair of Iranian Studies at the University of Bamberg, Maria Szuppe is Directrice de recherche at the CNRS and director of CeRMI (Centre de recherche sur le monde iranien: Langues, cultures et sociétés de l Antiquité à nos jours) in Paris, Nicolas Michel is Professeur d histoire contemporaine at the University of Aix-Marseille, and Albrecht Fuess is Professor of Islamic Studies at the University of Marburg.
