Description

This scholarly work by Edinburgh University Press explores the archival history of the Mamluk sultanate of Cairo, one of the late-medieval Middle East's most influential polities. Using surviving original documents, the book examines archival practices connected to waqf, the pious endowments that defined late-medieval Islamic societies. By analysing documents linked to endowment and property exchange processes, it reveals how archives shape historical narratives and demonstrates the vital role that archival practices played in managing administrative and religious institutions. The study combines rigorous textual analysis with institutional history to illuminate the relationship between paperwork, governance and society in classical Islamic Cairo, offering valuable insights into medieval record-keeping, legal frameworks and the social significance of documented property transactions within the broader context of Islamic law and culture.

Key Features

Edinburgh University Press publishes this academic study as part of the Edinburgh Studies in Classical Islamic History and Culture series, ensuring scholarly credibility and peer-reviewed content.

The book examines original surviving documents from Mamluk Cairo, providing primary source evidence about archival practices and administrative procedures in late-medieval Islamic governance.

This work analyses waqf endowments extensively, demonstrating how these pious institutions functioned within Mamluk society and shaped patterns of property ownership and religious patronage.

The author explores the archival history itself as a subject, revealing how surviving documents and their preservation practices influence modern historical understanding of medieval Cairo.

The study combines document analysis with institutional history to explain how paperwork and record-keeping systems supported the administrative operations of one of the Middle East's most powerful medieval states.
