(663 H) it is kent that the Sultan Baybars allocatit equal shares o the veelage tae three o his amirs. Ane o thir, amir Badr al-Din Baktash al-Fakri, includit his section o the veelage in a waqf he established.[2]
In 1596, Jaljulia wis pairt o the Ottoman Empire, nahiya (subdestrict) o Banu Sa´b unner the Liwa o Nablus, wi a population o 100 hoosehaulds ("Khana"). It peyed taxes on a nummer o crops, includin wheat an baurley, as well as "simmer crops", "occasional revenues", "goats an bees", an a mercat toll. Thare wis an aa a poll tax, jizya, on the Christians an Jews in the locality.[3]

The Khan is locatit on the opposite side o the road o the mosque.
The Khan wis biggit bi Sayf al-Din Tankiz, the govrenor o Damascus 1312-1340,[6] an it wis still functionin in the 16t century, when it wis mentioned in an Ottoman firman.[7] In the 19t century it wis seen bi Guérin, who describit it as a bonnie khan wi a (ruined) polygonal minaret.[8]
Petersen, who surveyed the structur in 1996, foond the courtyard entirely owergrown an it wis no possible tae detect ony features athin, housomeivver, he notes that a 19t century visitor haed mentioned that thare wis "a great roond well" in the centre.[9]
