The Normative Role of Kinship and Community
Volume Editor:
Explore a new perspective on land relations with Ownership Regimes, which shifts focus from traditional legal views to socio-historical contexts. This book reveals how land holding was influenced by diverse practices, including doctrine, laws, customs, regional kinship, and community ties. By understanding these as components of a broader normative framework, scholars from different regions show how complex social, religious, and cultural norms shaped efficient and enduring land-use arrangements. It challenges historians and legal scholars to examine the interplay of these norms in the Iberian world, uncovering how they defined ownership, division, regulation, and conflict resolution in various regions.

Betäubungsmittel in der arabisch-islamischen Kultur 1100-1800
Author:
Opium, Bilsenkraut und Haschisch: Was berichten die vormodernen, arabisch-islamischen Quellen darüber? In diesem Buch werden sämtlich Aspekte von Gebrach und Missbrauch untersucht: Die Verwendung in der klassisch-arabischen Medizin, die Verwendung als Gifte, der juristische Diskurs um ihren Gebrauch und ihr Missbrauch als Rauschmittel. Außerdem werden die ab dem 13. Jh. entstehenden Monografien über Betäubungsmittel betrachtet und es wird der Frage nach einem vormodernen Verständnis von Abhängigkeit nachgegangen. Durch den Betrachtungszeitraum von 1100 bis 1800 werden Trends im Rauschmittelkonsum erkennbar, zahlreiche, sich verändernde juristische Positionen können nebeneinander gestellt werden und es entsteht ein facettenreiches Bild der Rauschmittelkonsumenten in ihren jeweiligen Lebensumfeldern.
