Description

Explore a rare window into medieval Middle Eastern musicology with Music Theory in Mamluk Cairo: The g yat al-ma l b f 'ilm al-adw r wa-'l- ur b by Ibn Kurr. Part of the SOAS Studies in Music series, this text serves as the only substantial theoretical work representing musicological discourse in Cairo during the first half of the fourteenth century CE. This volume is a significant resource for scholars and historians. It provides a unique look at a period that lacks comparable surviving texts, covering the Mamluk era from 1260 until the Ottoman conquest in 1516. Beyond its historical rarity, the book offers deep insights into the technical aspects of the era's musical traditions. Readers will find detailed information regarding modal and rhythmic structures. This work is an essential addition for anyone studying the history of music, Middle Eastern studies, or the evolution of musical theory in the Mamluk period.
