Abstract:
This article addresses a particularly troubling form of property: slavery in fifteenth-century Dubrovnik. The practice of slavery depended upon law: its articulation lay at the intersection of the Roman law of the ius commune, canon law, local customary and statute law, and natural law. The texture of these different legalistic frameworks provided ways of articulating the problems, discursive and ethical, of treating people as property. The essay explores these tensions by looking at slave contracts, and practices of manumission: slaves could purchase their freedom with their own property (peculium). Both manumission and peculium were inflected by favor libertatis, the acknowledgement that the rigidity of law was a problematic way to deal with people. Further tensions are explored in the context of the criminal liability of slaves. Finally, the essay turns to the range of contracts from outright slavery to indentured labour, and asks how this spectrum problematizes concepts of property.

Abstract:
The potential for sexual service played a key role in the changing demand for slaves in medieval Europe. From the early Middle Ages on, the demand for male slaves declined while the market for female slaves rose. Although male and female slaves were vulnerable to sexual exploitation, only enslaved women's sexual service was tacitly sanctioned in the parts of Christian Europe where slavery was practiced. Their suitability for sexual service factored into their prices, in contrast to free domestic servants, whose wages were not influenced by their physical appearance. As a consequence of the common practice of slaves' sexual service in the cities where slavery was still practiced, the presence of children of slaves and masters in households gave rise to social pressures that diminished the demand for slaves within European households at the same time that slavery in European colonies was on the rise.

Abstract:
Medieval slavery has received little attention relative to slavery in ancient Greece and Rome and in the early modern Atlantic world. This imbalance in the scholarship has led many to assume that slavery was of minor importance in the Middle Ages. In fact, the practice of slavery continued unabated across the globe throughout the medieval millennium. This volume – the final volume in The Cambridge World History of Slavery – covers the period between the fall of Rome and the rise of the transatlantic plantation complexes by assembling twenty-three original essays, written by scholars acknowledged as leaders in their respective fields. The volume demonstrates the continual and central presence of slavery in societies worldwide between 500 CE and 1420 CE. The essays analyze key concepts in the history of slavery, including gender, trade, empire, state formation and diplomacy, labor, childhood, social status and mobility, cultural attitudes, spectrums of dependency and coercion, and life histories of enslaved people.

Abstract:
The medieval jurists had to adapt the rules of ancient Roman law to the needs of their time. Not all these adaptations can be viewed positively. Justinianic law provided the legal framework for the late medieval resurgence of chattel slavery. Serfdom was also accommodated within the Roman law of persons. On the other hand, restrictions on the ability of women to participate in business were relaxed. A theory of legal personality was developed. In property law, the jurists conceptualized feudal tenure as a form of quasi-ownership. The renaissance of the Roman testament transformed the law of succession. The elaboration of a doctrine of change of circumstances was an important step in the development of contract law. The scope of delictual liability was enhanced and the groundwork for a theory of vicarious liability was laid. Despite grave blemishes, the modernization of Roman law is a remarkable achievement of the medieval jurists.

Abstract:
This chapter offers a new approach to the moral quandary of the biblical sanctioning of slavery. The chapter argues that the Bible shapes its ideal view of slavery, not simply as deleterious to the human moral condition but as metaphysically injurious as well. It first conducts a methodical narrative analysis of the term ‘eved, the Hebrew word for slave. It then proceeds to examine the Bible’s strict regulation of slavery which is calibrated to rule it out of existence altogether. Rabbinic law advanced biblical law in further humane directions, limiting the harshness of slavery, culminating in a medieval formulation by Maimonides which presents a model of Jewish philosophical theology through a sophisticated weave of biblical texts, philosophy, theology, and law.

Abstract:
The chapter considers women taken as spoils of war (ghanima) and then distributed as concubines or sold into slavery, this during the rise to power of the Almohads, the dynasty that ruled the Islamic West (the Maghrib) from 1147 to 1269 CE. The story of these women provides a unique window onto a wider political and ideological shift—the rise of the Almohad state—in which they were significant pawns. Information on Almohad concubines and female slaves also provides a close glance at the conduct of Almohad warfare that we do not find elsewhere either in primary sources or modern secondary literature. The chapter is a welcome contribution to what remains a limited body of English-language scholarship on medieval North African history.

Full text
Abstract:
Concubines and Courtesans: Women and Slavery in Islamic History contains 16 essays that consider, from a variety of viewpoints, enslaved and freed women across medieval and premodern Islamic social history. The essays bring together arguments regarding slavery, gender, social networking, cultural production (music, poetry, and dance), sexuality, Islamic family law, and religion in the shaping of Near Eastern and Islamic society over time. They range over nearly 1,000 years of Islamic history—from the early, formative period (7th–10th century CE) to the late Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal eras (16th–18th century CE)—and regions from al-Andalus (Islamic Spain) to Central Asia (Timurid Iran). The close, common thread joining the essays is an effort to account for the lives, careers, and representations of female slaves and freed women participating in and contributing to elite urban society of the Islamic realm. Interest in a gendered approach to Islamic history, society, and religion has, by now, deep roots in Middle Eastern and Islamic studies. The shared aim of the essays collected here is to get at the wealth of these topics and to underscore their centrality to a firm grasp on Islamic and Middle Eastern history.

Full text
Abstract:
The chapter looks at a specific group of enslaved and freed women performers in Islamic Spain (al-Andalus). The qiyan constituted a public and, often, prominent class of women, especially those individuals associated with the caliphal court. There is a comparatively rich body of documentary evidence about their training, their performances, their personalities, and their distinctive characteristics and talents. For a small number of individuals, there exist relatively complete biographies, although this information is usually presented as a series of separate anecdotes rather than as a cohesive narrative. For the majority, however, only brief glimpses of key moments in their lives are preserved. Relative to other classes of women and other categories of slaves, the qiyan offer a unique opportunity for the study of gender, slavery, and social relations in the medieval Islamic period.

Full text
Abstract:
The chapter seeks to catalogue what is known of the ethnic origins of women slaves in al-Andalus (8th–14th centuries CE)—that is, the territories of the Iberian Peninsula under Islamic domination. It also poses a set of methodological problems that arise in the study of a subject for which Andalusian Arabic sources offer comparatively little information. The chapter underscores the fact that, although it is difficult to unearth evidence on female slaves in these sources, the material they do provide often proves invaluable, specifically in detailing the origins of the enslaved women and, in turn, identifying the scope of the medieval slave trade in women and girls.

Full text
Abstract:
A statistical analysis of an early Arabic text, Nasab Quraysh of al-Zubayri (d.c. 850), is used to examine the rise of concubinage during the first period of Islamic history. Using basic prosopographical and statistical techniques, the author argues for a sharp rise in reliance on concubinage by elite Arab families following the appearance of Islam during the seventh century CE. Contrary to what is often claimed, concubines and their progeny enjoyed a significant presence in elite Arab families well before the Abbasid era, and there is little evidence to suggest that either mothers or their offspring were discriminated against on a systematic basis. The value of new methods of reading medieval Arabic texts is emphasized in an effort to reconstruct the history of gender and slavery in Islamic history.

Abstract:
Women's experience in the towns of medieval Europe was framed by the nature of the urban economy and the legal system in place. Women operated everywhere within a patriarchal system, but the limits and possibilities of their economic participation varied across time, marital status, social status, family ties, and training. Elite women managed households, but in some cities they can be found investing in trade and industry, engaging in financial operations, and exploiting real property. Middling women engaged in sales of luxury goods and agricultural commodities, in real-estate transactions, in partnerships and apprenticeships. Rarely did they enjoy guild membership, but they contributed to medieval artisanal industry. Poor women, domestic servants, prostitutes, and slaves were everywhere the disadvantaged in medieval cities, though some, such as hucksters, could overcome the makeshift transient economy of which they were a part. Gender dictated the fate of urban women, however historical assessments might differ.
