Description

Explore a detailed quantitative analysis of the civilian elite in Mamluk Cairo with this scholarly work from Princeton University Press. In this pioneer study, Carl Petry examines the lives and social structures of the 'ulama' by analyzing data from 4,631 individuals. Drawn from two fifteenth-century biographical dictionaries, the research provides a deep look into the geographic origins of these influential figures. This book maps out the distribution of residences and places of work within Cairo, offering a clear view of how the civilian elite lived and operated during the later Middle Ages. Originally published in 1982, this volume is part of the Princeton Legacy Library. Using modern print-on-demand technology, this edition makes a previously out-of-print academic resource available once again for students, historians, and researchers of Egyptian history and ancient civilizations.
