The Development of Díwán al-awqáf in Egypt in the 19th Century: Regulations of 1837 and 1851
Original language description
The paper traces the establishment and development of d?w?n al-awq?f in Egypt in the 19th century. It analyzes two manuscript documents (Regulations of 1837 and 1851) stored in the Egyptian state archive in Cairo. The aim of this paper is to present a full edition of both documents and review their content in the context of d?w?n?s institutional development. It is demonstrated that the regulation of 1837 is, contrary to earlier assessments, predicative of the d?w?n only to a limited extent. Its significance is reassessed within the broad framework of Muhammad Al??s waqf policy. Then the document of 1851 is introduced. It represents most probably the very first preserved constitutive document of d?w?n al-awq?f in 19th century Egypt. The content of the document makes it possible to define the structure of the d?w?n and its executive powers. The paper concludes with a survey of the development of d?w?n al-awq?f up to 1895, when it evolved into a sophisticated bureau of administration.
