The Abbasid Caliphate of Cairo, 1261-1517: Out of the Shadows - Edinburgh Studies in Classical Islamic History and Culture
Banister, Mustafa (Post-doctoral researcher in Arabic Historiography, Ghent University, Belgium)
Mustafa Banister presents a thorough investigation of a forgotten dynasty: the Cairene descendants of the Abbasid family. He uncovers the public and private lives of the 18 men invested as caliphs during the period of ‘Mamluk’ rule in Egypt and Syria (1250–1517) and reveals a nuanced understanding of the Abbasid Caliphate.
