پيشه‌سازى لە وڵاتى شام له‌ سه‌ده‌كانى (4-6ك / 10-12ز)

Abstract

This research is an attempt to shed light on the industrial design in the Levant during (4-7 AH / 10-12 CE). The Levant was an important industrial base for the entire region and the world during the stated period. Industrial products of the Levant were traded both eastward and westward. Due to its geographical advantage and proximity to other markets, the Levant was a crucial place for commerce throughout the reign of the Islamic Empire. This led to a swift industrialization of the domestic markets. Furthermore, raw materials such as olives, sugar canes, grapes, graines, and dry fruits were available. These materials aided the manufacturing of carpets, rugs, perfumes, flower water, soaps from olive oil, cotton, and silk, in addition to fur farming and tanning. The Levant also had vast forests and minerals-rich soil that contributed to the industrial process. The literature underpinning this research is largely reflected in the ancient and contemporary works and studies conducted by geographists, historians, and anthropologists.
