Karimī merchants (English spelling)

Japanese: カーリミー商人 - カーリミーしょうにん(英語表記)Kārimī
Karimī merchants (English spelling)
The name of Islamic merchants who were active in the spice trade via the Red Sea from the Ayyubid period to the middle of the Mamluk period. The word Kārimī, from which it is derived, means "cargo ship" or "group of shipowners" and was already in use since the Fatimid period, but there are many unknowns about its origin. They formed a merchant guild under a leader called the "chief of Kārimi," and in addition to owning their own ships, they set up their own trading posts in major cities along the trade routes, which they used as trading places, warehouses, and lodgings.

アイユーブ朝からマムルーク朝の中期まで,紅海経由の香辛料貿易に活躍したイスラム商人の呼称。カーリミーKārimīの語源であるカーリムの語は〈回船〉あるいは〈船主グループ〉の意味で,すでにファーティマ朝時代から用いられていたが,その起源については不明な点が少なくない。彼らは〈カーリミーの長〉と呼ばれる組合長の下に商人組合を結成し,自らの船舶を所有すると共に,通商路上の主要都市に専用の商館を置いてこれを取引所,倉庫,宿泊用に利用した。
