Ahmad ibn Tulun (835–884) governed Egypt on behalf of the
Abbasid dynasty for sixteen years. An aggressive and innovative
actor, he pursued an ambitious political agenda, including the
introduction of dynastic rule over Egypt, that put him at odds with
his imperial masters. Throughout, however, he retained close ties
to the Abbasid house and at no point did he assert outright
independence. In this volume, Matthew Gordon considers Ibn
Tulun’s many achievements in office as well as the crises,
including the betrayals of his eldest son and close clients, that
marred his singular career.
