This fourth selection of studies by David Ayalon takes up the theme of the preceding volume, that of the opposition between the Abode of Islam and the external world, the Abode of War. Similarly, a number of the articles are concerned with the impact of outsiders, moving into the world of Islam, but others focus on aspects of the conflict between the two worlds, for instance raising the question of why it was only on the Nubian frontier that the early Arab advance was halted. The majority of the studies however concentrate on the Mamluk institution, especially in Mamluk Egypt, and carry forward the author''s argument of the decisiveness of the slave institution in Muslim society, particularly this socio-military component which played such a critical role in both the expansion and the defense of Islam. Cette quatrième sélection détudes de David Ayalon reprend le thème du volume précédent: celui de lopposition entre le monde de lIslam et le monde extérieur, ou monde dela guerre. De façon analogue, un certain nombre darticles sattachent à limpact des étrangers sinstallant dans le monde lIslam, alors que dautres se concentrant sur différents aspects du conflit entre les deux mondes, soulevant, par exemple, la question quant à la raison pour laquelle la première avance arabe fut uniquement arrêtée à la frontière nubienne. La plupart des études cependant, se concentrent sur linstitution mamelouke, plus spécifiquement en Egypte mamelouke. Elles poursuivent largument de lauteur quant au caractère décisif de linstitution de lesclavage dans la société musulmane, plus particulièrement en ce qui concerne lélément socio-militaire qui jouât un rôle primordial dans lexpansion et la défense de lIslam.
