Abstract: Although maritime trade along the coast of 4th/10th-century Ifrīqiya has been studied in some detail, less is known about its development in the 3rd/9th century, when the province was under Aghlabid rule. This is partly due to the nature of the information contained in the Arabic historical and geographical sources on which many studies rely. This paper argues that legal texts are an additional source that can expand our knowledge of trade practices in 3rd/9th-century Ifrīqiya and assist our interpretation of the information contained in historical and geographical sources. Using the information given in the legal sources, it offers new findings about maritime trade in 3rd/9th–century Ifrīqiya and argues that the period of Aghlabid rule was key to the economic development of the province. Keywords: Maritime trade, Ifrīqiya, Aghlabids, Islamic law, North Africa, trade networks, al-Andalus Published Online: 2022/06/30 06:40:56 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5572 0x003d8951 Rights: .
medieval worlds provides a forum for comparative, interdisciplinary and transcultural studies of the Middle Ages. Its aim is to overcome disciplinary boundaries, regional limits and national research traditions in Medieval Studies, to open up new spaces for discussion, and to help developing global perspectives. We focus on the period from c. 400 to 1500 CE but do not stick to rigid periodization.
