a-t-on déjà signalé ces cartes sur seenthis ? Il me semble que oui mais je n’ai pas retrouvé.
Finally, perhaps the strangest thing is the use of Nusayri and Mutawalli. Mutawallis, which today is used to refer to Shiites more generally, show up on this map as located around the city of Antakya, in an area inhabited, then and now, by people who would today be called Alawites. Nusayris, a term that today is usually used to refer to Alawites, appear both in the area between Iskenderun and Adana and south of the Maronites and Druze in the Lebanese mountains. Ismailis are nowhere to be seen. If anyone has any theories about what exactly is going on here I’d be curious to hear it (likewise, I’m at a loss for what the dotted lines showing Arab and Druze villages are all about).
