Over the last decade or two, the field of Middle Eastern and Islamic
studies has witnessed the convergence of new perspectives on the history
of epidemic diseases. A growing body of scholarship enables us to
explore connections between Middle Eastern studies and the histories of
medicine and health. This study serves as testimony that the field has
reached a certain level of maturity. Contributors to the volume tackle
various questions of historiography and sources, test new
interdisciplinary methodologies, and ask new questions while revisiting
older ones. Essays in the volume discuss diseases that affected human
and non-human populations in areas stretching from the Red Sea and Egypt
to Anatolia, the Balkans, and the Black Sea, in the early modern and
modern eras.
The volume contributes to Ottoman studies, the
history of medicine, Mediterranean and European history, as well as
global studies on the role of epidemics in history.
