Yahudilerin kahire genizası'nda ortaçağ müslüman akdeniz havzasının saklı tarihi

Ortaçağda önemli bir medeniyet coğrafyasını ifade eden Akdeniz havza- sı asırlarca Kahire merkezli İslam idarelerinin kontrolünde olmuştur. Bu bölgedeki İslam devletlerinde gayrimüslim topluluklar önemli sosyal un- surlar olarak varlık bulmuştur. Yahudi geleneğinin bir ürünü olan geni- za evrakları, başta Yahudiler olmak üzere gayrimüslimlerin bu bölgedeki sosyal, ekonomik ve gündelik yaşamına dair önemli bilgiler sunmaktadır. IXX. yüzyılın sonlarında Fustat şehrindeki Ben Ezra sinagogunda keş- fedilen geniza koleksiyonundaki bilgiler de bu tespiti güçlendirmektedir. Yahudilerin genellikle gündelik yaşamına dair yazılı belgelerden oluşan bu koleksiyon, Yahudi cemaati merkezinde Ortaçağ Müslüman Akdeniz havzasının tarihine ışık tutan güçlü bir kaynak olmuştur.

The hidden history of the medieval muslim mediterra- nean basin in the cairo geniza of jews

The Middle Ages of the Mediterranean basin as an important civilization geography has been under the control of the Cairo-based Islamic rule for centuries. The Non-Muslim communities in this region of the Islamic state as the basic social groups have always been there. In the end of the nine- teenth century, the Cairo geniza have been discovered in Fustat/Cairo. Written sources belonging to the Jewish tradition, the Cairo Geniza offers important information on social, economic and everyday life of the Jews. These hidden and historical records of Jews shed light on the Medieval Muslim Mediterranean Basin of the early classic age of Islam as well as Jewish history.
