Notes
The research topic focuses on craftsmen in Jeddah in the thirteenth century AH/nineteenth century AD, relying on scientific sources and references (including British and Ottoman archive documents, including reports of consuls and governors), in addition to what was reported by Muslims and Europeans when they visited Jeddah during that period. Jeddah was and still is one of the most important, if not the most important, ports of the Red Sea (for several reasons, including: it being the gateway to the Two Holy Mosques, and the movement and services it requires for pilgrims to the Holy House of God and visitors to the Mosque of His Noble Messenger, may the best prayers and peace be upon him, in addition to being the western commercial maritime entrance to the entire Arabian Peninsula). Therefore, throughout its history, it has witnessed the emergence and growth of a major commercial movement in all eras. This was accompanied by (or resulted from) the establishment of families concerned with trade and various professional crafts, and trading houses of various sizes were formed: large, medium, and small. This was accompanied by the emergence of professional sects “unions” whose activities centered around serving pilgrims (such as transportation, guidance, porters, etc.). The research seeks to clarify this movement and focus on highlighting the roles of craftsmen in the life of Jeddah and its society during the thirteenth century AH/nineteenth century AD.
