description
"The most enduring testament to the Mamluk Sultanate is its architecture. Not only do Mamluk buildings embody one of the most outstanding medieval architectural traditions, Mamluk architecture is actually a key to the social history of the period. Analysing Mamluk constructions as a form of communication and documentation as well as a cultural index, "Mamluk History Through Architecture" shows how the buildings mirror the complex - and historically unique - military, political, social and financial structures of Mamluk society. With this original and authoritative study, Nasser Rabbat offers an innovative approach to the history of the Mamluks - through readings of the spectacular architecture of the period. Drawing on examples from throughout both Egypt and Syria, from the Citadel and Al-Azhar Mosque of Cairo to the Mausoleum of al-Zahir Baybars in Damascus, Rabbat demonstrates how Mamluk architecture served to reinforce visually the spirit of the counter-Crusade, when the Muslim world rebounded from the setbacks of the First Crusade. Both holistically and in case studies, Rabbat demonstrates how history is inscribed into and reflected by a culture's artefacts. This is a groundbreaking work in the study of architecture and social history in the Middle East and beyond."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Mamluk architecture is key to the social history of the period. Analysing Mamluk constructions as a form of communication and documentation as well as a cultural index, Mamluk History Through Architecture shows how the buildings mirror the complex-and historically unique-military, political, social and financial structures of Mamluk society. With this study Nasser Rabbat offers an innovative approach to the history of the Mamluks-through readings of the spectacular architecture of the period. Mamluk History Through Architecture ranges over some of the greatest architectural achievements of the Mamluk world, showing how architecture played a distinct role in the social and political life of the time. Drawing on examples from throughout both Egypt and Syria, Rabbat demonstrates how Mamluk architecture served to reinforce visually the spirit of the counter-Crusade, when the Muslim world rebounded from the setbacks of the First Crusade. In Egypt, Rabbat explores the famous Citadel of Cairo, the seat of power in Egypt for seven hundred years, shedding light on the governments that inhabited this building, while also showing how al-Azhar Mosque served as a barometer for the status of Cairo's ruling elites. And in Damascus, Rabbat speculates on the brief resurgence of glass mosaic in Mamluk art of the thirteenth century, tying this artistic flourishing to the wider social spirit of the time. --Book Jacket
