Notes	The endowment is an ancient Islamic social phenomenon that was clearly widespread in Algeria, especially in the late Ottoman era, and this is what we noticed through the documents of the Sharia court. The endowment contracts revealed to us the extent of the contribution of individuals to social, economic and cultural life, with the properties they endowed to religious and cultural institutions, and on how the endowments of the Two Holy Mosques and the Andalusian Endowments Foundation are managed. Thanks to these contracts, we were able to learn about the nature of the doctrines followed at that time, the type of real estate ownership, and the procedures for transferring it within a single family. In addition to identifying the density of residential neighborhoods, it also allowed us to determine the features of the city's topography. Due to the importance of the Sharia court documents pertaining to endowments, in terms of the information they provide to us, we made them essential material for starting this work. These documents revealed to us the types of endowments through which the donors withheld their property, including the nuclear or civil endowment. What is the nature of this type of endowment? Why did some residents of Algiers prefer him in their endowments?
