This is the DBQ chart I made to help me write my DBQ (its kind of messed up form how the orignal was, but its the closest I could get it from google docs):

-Doc #
-Date
-Source
-Category #1--I vs. E
-Category #2--S vs. E
-POV
.
-1
-700's (8th century CE)
-Hadith (Islamic Legal code)
-no harm in trading, even in seasons of pilgrimage, trade said to be okay by "divine inspiration"
-:-> (can see POV)
.
-2
-1300's (14th century CE)
-Ibn Khaldun
-trade=gambling trade=tricks
tradesmen inferior to rulers, have some bad charcteristics, trading/ tradsmen fall under the heading of gambling.
-:->
.
-3
-1100's (12th century CE)
-Saint Godric's Christian Biographer, Reginald of Durham
-trade and merchants have transgressions, but make good money, give to charity, travel increaases age and wisdom
many merchants steal from others, had transgressions
-:->
.
-4
-1198
-Pope Innoccent III
-absolutely no trading with people like muslims, only trade with people of same religion, people who traded with Muslims would be excommunicated form church
trade was a way to get money, but if you traded with anyone outside the church (muslims) then that was bad. This meant that this culture didn't really have much contact with the muslims
-:->
.
-5
-1250
-Humbert de Romans, about European fairs and markets
-markets are usually morally worse than fairs, men sometimes miss church/mass for markets, sometimes held in holy places, make men swear/use God's name in vain, sometimes markets cause fights to break out, drinking, market place has demon, overall bad place
many unclean people who weren't unhonest were at the market selling things to people, bad influence on others, a lot of swearing/using God's name in vain
-:->
.
-6
-1500's (16th century CE)
-Zhang Han, China
-the wisdom and ability of the merchants is insignificant, the confucian classic says "Great understanding is broad and unhurried; little inderstanding is cramped and busy", merchants earn a lot of money, wisdom, and ability, but according to Confucius all of their traveling, moeny, fine things, wisdom and ability are unimportant.
merchants make a lot of money and profit, very well off in life, have some wisdom and ability, ...trading probably limited because of what Confucius said (<--) and because China was isolated
