Description
Summary:The three documents published here, a letter request and two petitions, relate the practice of secondary pilgrimages (ziyārāt) accomplished in sanctuaries of medieval Syria. They reveal a practice which remained undocumented until now: that of ziyārāt by proxy. Each time it is specified that the invocations pronounced on the spot by various pilgrims had for beneficiary a specifically designated recipient. Unlike the certificates of ḥaǧǧ and ’umra by proxy, guaranteed by deed witnesses, these documents, which express the raise of a local pietist actions, retain an informal aspect suitable for supererogatory practices.
