Mamluks And Ottomans

Sinopse

"Mamluks and Ottomans, dedicated to Michael Winter, aims to highlight aspects of variety and continuity in the history of the Middle East between the thirteenth and the eighteenth centuries CE." "The studies in this book look at the area from Istanbul through Syria and Palestine to Arabia, Yemen and Sudan. They demonstrate the great wealth of materials available, in a wide variety of languages, from archives and manuscripts, police records and divorce documents, through inscriptions and buildings to art works of every kind."--Jacket.
