Mamluks and Crusaders: Men of the Sword and Men of the Pen brings
together a series of studies, based mainly on medieval Arabic
sources, of Middle Eastern history and society in the late Middle
Ages. Several of these studies deal with the confrontation between
the Mamluks and the Crusaders. Others deal with aspects of Mamluk
society and culture in Egypt and Syria from the 13th to the early
16th centuries. There are articles on such matters as Crusader
feudalism and Mamluk iqta', Crusader and Mamluk currency, the last
years of the Crusader states, Mamluk faction fighting, the size of
the Mamluk army, the image of the Crusaders and other Europeans in
Arabic popular literature, a neglected source on the sex life of
the Mamluks, the ritual consumption of horse meat by Mamluks and
Mongols, the table talk of the Mamluk Sultan Qansuh al-Ghawri, the
deployment of gunpowder and firearms in the Middle East,
gangsterism in Cairo and the shared interest of Ibn Khaldun and
al-Maqrizi in the occult. Finally, several studies deal with
questions of historiography, in both Crusader and Mamluk studies.
