Description

Explore the archival history of the Mamluk sultanate of Cairo through this scholarly study from Edinburgh University Press. This book examines how archives serve as more than just historical sources; they possess their own histories that influence how the past is reconstructed. By analyzing surviving original documents, the text provides a detailed look at archival practices within one of the most powerful polities of the late-medieval Middle East. A primary focus is placed on the waqf, or pious endowments, which were a defining feature of Islamic societies during this period. Through a close study of documents related to property exchange and endowment processes, this work offers new perspectives on the administrative and social structures of Mamluk Cairo. It is an essential resource for those studying Islamic history, archival science, and the legal frameworks of the late-medieval Middle East.
