The present volume contains seventeen essays on the Mamluk Sultanate, an Islamic Empire of slaves whose capital was in Cairo between the 13th and the 16th centuries, written by leading historians of this period. It discusses topics as varied as social and cultural issues, women in Mamluk society, literary and poetical genres, the politics of material culture, and regional and local politics.

Mamluk studies have expanded considerably in recent years and today interests hundreds of active researchers worldwide who write in numerous languages and constitute a vivid and strong community of researchers, some of whose best research is presented in this volume.

Recenzii

"In my view this volume offers a nice entry point into the field of Mamlūk history. It offers a taster of the range of perspectives that have and are being taken by scholars in the field, as well as a fine introduction to a number of its historical sources." - Daisy Livingston, in: Wiener Zeitschrift für die Kunde des Morgenlandes 109 (2019)

"... this collection of articles is highly recommended for anyone interested in the Mamlūks. With its combination of articles by both well-established scholars as well as relative newcomers to the discipline, it provides an excellent, remarkably rich and multifaceted cross section of the state of the art in the burgeoning field of Mamlūk history." - Laurenz Kern, Freie Universität Berlin, in: Die Welt Des Islams 59 (2019)

"... the volume constitutes an important read for scholars and students of the Mamluk Period as well as of the respective fields of inquiry beyond that field. This is also true for further subjects such as numismatics, manuscript studies, institutional history, or food studies." - Torsten Wollina, Orient-Institut Beirut, in: Journal of the History and Culture of the Middle East 95/2 (2018)

"In their remarkable variety, these seventeen papers nicely illustrate the different terrains of scholarship on which Amalia Levanoni has been operating since the 1980s. Whereas some of them continue to situate themselves comfortably in longstanding research traditions and paradigms, quite a few simultaneously demonstrate the expanding range of research perspectives - including social theory, literary criticism, codicology, anthropology and archaeology - that have started to transform Mamluk studies into an interdisciplinary field by default. Beyond the individual value of quite a few of the papers in this volume, the latter general observation certainly also adds to the importance of this volume as a whole." - Jo Van Steenbergen, University of Gent, in: English Historical Review 134/569 (2019)
