Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the period following the mid-fourteenth century, there were several outbreaks of plague in Egypt and Syria resulting in the death of millions of people. Under these calamitous circumstances, people actively endowed their private property as waqf (Islamic religious endowment) for the purpose of founding various religious institutions and supporting charitable activities. Using the original endowment deeds as the main sources, this research revealed the motives and purposes of people who established waqfs, while providing a glimpse into their thoughts about life and death.
