In Caliphate and Kingship in a Fifteenth-Century Literary History
of Muslim Leadership and Pilgrimage Jo Van Steenbergen presents a
new study, edition and translation of al-Dahab al-Masbuk fi Dikr
man Hagga min al-Hulafa' wa-l-Muluk, a summary history of the
Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca by al-Maqrizi (766-845 AH/ca. 1365-1442
CE). Traditionally considered as a useful source for the history of
the hagg, al-Dahab al-Masbuk is re-interpreted here as a complex
literary construction that was endowed with different meanings.
Through detailed contextualist, narratological, semiotic and
codicological analyses Van Steenbergen demonstrates how these
meanings were deeply embedded in early-fifteenth century Egyptian
transformations, how they changed substantially over time, and how
they included particular claims about authorship and about
legitimate and good Muslim rule.
