صناعة الألبسة بمدينة قسنطينة خلال العهد العثماني

Abstract EN

Throughout history, Constantine city has attracted many writers such as: historians, geographers, travelers and others.

Accordingly, many of their writings have been published, but there are still manuscript sources, some of which were recently published only on the occasion of “Constantine the Capital of Arab Culture”, and others are still manuscripts in some libraries, safes and archive centers.

This written or published historical heritage is of great importance in studying the history of the city in its various aspects.

However, the main topic in the current research is clothing that was known in Constantine during the Ottoman period, whether in terms of its manufacturing or its types attractively mentioned in those sources, in addition to the artistic drawings that decorate some rooms of Ahmed Bey Palace, and other paintings drawn by the artist sourdeval few years after the occupation of the city by the French including drawings of the different Constantine clothing.

All of that has prompted us to present this research about clothing in Constantine city during the Ottoman era, relying mainly on historical texts and artistic drawings.
