This book is the first translated and annotated edition of Ibn
Nazif's Al-Ta'rikh al-Mansuri. Totalling 227 folios, the manuscript

anecdotes. The documents include two letters by the Emperor
Frederick II in Arabic, as well as the only mention of the
Albigensian Crusade in the Arabic language. Other notable material
includes Ibn Nazif's notes concerning the rivalries between the
various Ayyubids and the wars against Jalal al-Din Mangubirti,
descriptions of the Ayyubids in Yemen, and notes on the destruction
of the Sicilian Muslims and the defeats of the Spanish Muslims.
Containing an extensive historical introduction, this book will
appeal to scholars and students interested in the later Crusader
and middle Ayyubid periods.
