Landscape And Memory: Al-Nabulsi's Ta'rikh Al-Fayyum, James Keenan
Landscape And Memory: Al-Nabulsi's Ta'rikh Al-Fayyum, James Keenan
James G. Keenan
Uthman b. Ibrahim al-Nabulsi composed his description of Egypt's Fayyum province in the 1240s A.D. His Ta'rikh al-Fayyum starts with nine summary chapters followed by a massive tenth chapter, a geographical gazetteer arranged alphabetically by villages. The text is predominately concerned with the author's present day, leaving no doubt the region's landscape had changed significantly since late antiquity. Almost all the village names were Arabic. The people had been Arabized—and Islamicized: only small Christian pockets remained. The sacred landscape had been correspondingly reconfigured. Additionally, the Fayyum, which had experienced a shrinkage of arable land and a loss of villages in …

Two Loan Repayments From Second-Century Tebtunis, James Keenan
Two Loan Repayments From Second-Century Tebtunis, James Keenan
James G. Keenan
The type of document commonly referred to as the repayment, or return of a loan has been recently discussed in the introduction to P. Yale 63. The editors there conclude (p. 198) that "written repayments of loans were not given for repayment itself, but to cover peculiar circumstances" (spaced by me), such as the decease of the original creditor or debtor, or occasions when repayment was made in a place different from that in which the loan was taken out. The two papyri presented below lend confirmation to this conclusion: No. 1 is the repayment in Tebtunis of a loan …

Four Papyri From Second-Century Tebtunis, James Keenan, John Shelton
James G. Keenan
The texts presented here have until now been known to papyrologists only from short descriptions in the back of P. Teb. Vol. II. We print below full transcripts together with a commentary to take account of scholarship since the original publication in 1907. The texts have a common feature in their concern with weaving: nr. 1 is an apprenticeship to a weaver, the remainder are receipts for weavers' tax.
