Even the banalities associated with the everyday are brought to life: bathing, the market, loving and grieving are ali explored for the first time vvith scholarly rigour and fascina-tion for a disappeared world.
  
  Delving into personal letters, court documents, wills, correspondence vvith Sufi masters and the travel records of seafarers and traders, Faroqhi has identified a broad range of areas where individuals were able to create a flourishing and vibrant urban civilization, even while politically the Empire was beginning its relentless decline.
