النسيج السكاني في طرابلس العثمانية من خلال سجلات محكمتها الشرعية 1715-1741

Abstract EN

Tripoli’s fascinating history has been distinguished by wonderful paintings that reflect the peaceful coexistence of the religious sects that were present in it.

The Sharia court records in Tripoli indicate that this city was spared from sectarian events, similar to what occurred in Damascus and Mount Lebanon in 1845 and 1860.

True that it had social, economic problems and disputes, yet that was a far cry from religious conflicts.

The influx of different human elements into Tripoli made it home to various population groups, and made its society a mixture of diverse origins.

Natural and economic factors contributed to in smelting the population into one melting pot, forming the general frameworks of their social life in its various cultural, intellectual and political aspects.
