“…Having access to more flexible inheritance laws is another possibility. Boogert (2005, 2009) gives several examples where the partition instead followed Islamic law. Nevertheless, there are other cases that suggest flexible estate division, although the final inheritance outcome is not explicitly provided.…”

“…On the other hand, Murat Çizakça and Macit Kenanoğlu (2008) argue that Islamic partnerships were actually quite flexible and the number of people who switched to European law was modest. Maurits H. van den Boogert (2009) also challenges the jurisdictional shift theory, showing that consular courts did not necessarily apply their nations' laws. He cites examples where consuls followed Islamic legal jurisprudence instead.…”

In the eighteenth century, European embassies in the Ottoman Empire started selling exemption licenses calledberats, which granted non-Muslim Ottomans tax exemptions and the option to use European law. I construct a novel price panel for British and French licenses based on primary sources. The evidence reveals that prices were significantly high and varied across countries. Agents acquired multipleberatsto enhance their legal options, which they exploited through strategic court switching. By the early 1800s,beratholders had driven other groups from European-Ottoman trade.

W niektórych państwach Bliskiego Wschodu, m.in. w Syrii i Egipcie, zachowane zostały rozwiązania prawne mające swoje źródło w systemie miletów Imperium Osmańskiego. Normy prawa wyznaniowego uznanych oficjalnie wspólnot niemuzułmańskich zostały usankcjonowane przez władze tych państw, co czyni systemy prawne tych państw pluralistycznymi. Celem publikacji jest wykazanie, w jakim zakresie zachowana została autonomia prawotwórcza niemuzułmańskich związków wyznaniowych w Egipcie i Syrii. W artykule przedstawiono: genezę miletów w tych państwach, zakres przedmiotowy i podmiotowy autonomii prawnej wspólnot niemuzułmańskich, źródła prawa uznane w Syrii i Egipcie oraz stosowane przez niemuzułmańskie wspólnoty wyznaniowe, a także niektóre problemy prawne wynikające z zachowania rozwiązań charakterystycznych dla Imperium Osmańskiego.

This article describes how Islamic and Frankish legal devices complemented each other and were even combined to settle disagreements in the late medieval Middle East. For this purpose, it focuses on two legal institutions that provided responses to the biases of Islamic law against non-Muslims and to the prejudices of Franks against the local law. The first are the notaries sent to the Mamluk cities by the Venetian government to draw up legal documents and to support the transactions of Venetian merchants. The second are the new royal orsiyāsacourts implemented by the sultans, where justice was dispensed by government officials instead of by traditional judges, orqāḍīs. Specifically, the article discusses, in a comparative manner, what constituted proof for Christians and Muslims, whether minorities could bear testimony or not, and how notaries and judges dealt with unbelievers. A common notarial culture, together with the expansion ofsiyāsajurisdiction over the affairs of foreigners, brought about a much deeper legal interplay than has previously been understood. Ultimately, it is argued that Mediterranean medieval societies had evolving attitudes toward justice and diversity, and approached their own legal traditions in ways compatible with the conflict resolution, while constantly borrowing legal concepts about difference from each other.
