This volume provides translations of texts on the Mamluk Sultan
Qalawun (1279-90) and his son al-Malik al-Ashraf (1290-93), which
cover the end of the Crusader interlude in the Syrian Levant.
Translated from the original Arabic, these chronicles detail the
Mamluk perception of the Crusaders, the Mongol menace, how this
menace was confronted, and a wealth of materials about the
Mediterranean basin in the late thirteenth century. Treaties,
battles, sieges and embassies are all revealed in these chronicles,
most of which have not been translated previously. The translated
texts provide a range of historical records concerning Qalawun and
al-Ashraf, and include the court perspective of Ibn `Abd al-Zahir,
the later biography by his nephew Shafi`, and the writings of the
Mamluk historian Baybars al-Mansuri.
