Mazor, Amir: The Rise and Fall of a Muslim Regiment

The Mansuriyya in the First Mamluk Sultanate, 678/1279-741/1341. The book focuses on the Mansuriyya regiment, the mamluks of sultan al-Mansur Qalawun. It traces the lives of these mamluks during the career of their master Qalawun (ca. 1260 1290), the period they ruled the Sultanate of Egypt and Syria de jure or de facto (1290 1310), and their aftermath, during the third reign of sultan al-Nasir Muhammad b. Qalawun (1310 1341). Based on dozens of contemporary Arabic sources, the book traces the political and military events of the turbulent Mansuriyya period, as well as the basic military-political principles and socio-political practices that evolved during this period. 312 Seiten, gebunden (Mamluk Studies; Vol. 10/V&R unipress/Bonn University Press 2015) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
