Abstract:
This study focuses on the rural settlement in theGalilee during the transition between the Mamlukand Ottoman regimes. Although the conquest of theMamluk sultanate and its inclusion in the OttomanEmpire led to considerable changes throughout theregion, the transition of power in the Galilee (1516)was not accompanied by a military struggle, massmigration, the destruction of property or an economiccrisis. Despite the peaceful change of regimes, andthe lack of information regarding the Mamluk ruralsettlement, most historians believe Ottoman rule“put an end to decay and degeneration that prevailedin 15th-century Palestine under Mamluk rule.”The Mamluk slump was presented and acceptedas a firm conclusion, and only a few studies havecollected, analyzed and criticized the data on whichthis conclusion rests. The Galilee at the end of theMamluk rule and the beginning of the Ottomanperiod is an excellent case-study for examining thestatement presented above, by studying and mappingthe spatial distribution of the villages, their size,and the economic and cultural connections betweenDamascus, Safed and the villages in the Galilee.
