Sha'ab ((アラビア語:شعب); ; meaning "The spur")〔Palmer, 1881, (p.116 )〕 is an Arab town (a local council) in the North District of Israel. It has an area of 5,442 dunams () of land under its jurisdiction and in 2006 had a population of 6,000. ==History== French scholar Victor Guérin associated Sha'ab with ''Saab'', a place mentioned by 1st-century writer Josephus.〔Josephus, (III, § 21 ), cited in Guérin, 1880, p. (434-435 ), cited in Petersen, 2001, p. 275〕〔TIR, p. 218, cited in Petersen, 2001, p. 275〕 In the 14th century, the tax income from the village was given to the wakf of the madrasah and mausoleum of the Shafi'i Manjaq in Egypt.〔MPF, 71, No. 53. Cited in Petersen, 2001, p. 275〕 ===Ottoman era=== In 1517, Sha'ab was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire along with the rest of Palestine. In 1573 (981 AH) Sha'ab was one of several villages in Galilee which rebelled against the Ottomans.〔Heyd, 1960, p. 84-85. Cited in Petersen, 2001, p. 275〕 In 1596, the village appeared in Ottoman tax registers as being in the ''Nahiya'' of Acre in the ''liwa''' (district) of Safad, with a population of 139 Muslim households. It paid taxes on wheat, barley, fruit trees,"occasional revenues", and "goats and bees".〔Hütteroth and Abdulfattah, 1977, p. 193〕 According to local tradition, the village started to flourish under anti-Ottoman rebel Zahir al-Umar (ca. 1768).〔Petersen, 2001, p. 275〕 In 1859, the population was estimated to be 1,500. Some were Catholic, the majority Muslim. The cultivated fields were estimated to be 80 feddans.〔Conder and Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, p. (271 )〕 Guérin visited in the 1870s, and wrote that the village of Sh'aib consisted of four quarters. The inhabitants, he wrote, were for the most part Muslim, about 800, and some 20 "Schismatic Greek" families. The Muslims had two Mosques and two walis.〔Guérin, 1880, p. (434-435 )〕〔Conder & Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, p. (339 )〕 In 1881, Sha'ab was described as being in a valley with fine olive groves, while part of the hill behind it was cultivated in corn.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sha'ab, Israel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
