Abstract

This study examines the markets in Cairo during the reign of the Mamlūks in the light of al-Makrīzī’s Chronicle al-Khitat. Besides those which were built during the Mamlūks era the commercial life were ongoing at the markets dating back to the Fatimids and the Ayyubids periods. The marketplaces generally occupied in al-Qasaba which was between Bāb al-Futūh in the north and Bāb al-Zuwayla in the south was the trading center of the city. Al-Qasaba is al-Mu’izz Street today which takes its name from the Fatimid Caliph al-Mu’izz li-Dinillah (341-364/953-975). The economic and social decline especially seen during the second half of the Mamlūks in the 15th century affected also the domestic markets stability and most of the sûqs disappeared depending on these conditions.

Özet

Bu çalışmada Memlûklar dönemi Kahire pazarları el-Makrîzî’nin el-Hıtat adlı eserindeki veriler ışığında incelenmektedir. Memlûklar devrinde kurulanların yanısıra ticari faaliyetler selefleri Fatimiler ve Eyyubiler zamanından kalma pazarlarda da devem etmekteydi. Pazar yerlerinin ekserisi kuzeydeki Bâb el-Futûh ve güneydeki Bâb ez-Zuveyle arasında bulunan ve bu süreçte ülkenin ticaret merkezi durumunda olan el-Kasaba’da yer ediyordu. El-Kasaba, günümüzde el-Mu’izz Caddesi olup, bu ad Fatimi Halifesi el-Mu’izz li-Dinillah’tan gelmektedir (341-364/953-975). Bilhassa, Memlûkların ikinci devresine tesadüf eden 15. yüzyıldaki ekonomik ve sosyal gerileme iç pazarlardaki istikrarı da etkilemiş, bu koşullara bağlı olarak da pazarların pek çoğu ortadan kalmıştır.
