Women, Architecture And Representation In Mamluk Cairo, Amina Karam
Women, Architecture And Representation In Mamluk Cairo, Amina Karam
Theses and Dissertations
Of the hundreds of documented religious monuments of Mamluk Cairo, known for its intense and often competitive building activity, about twenty are known to be associated with women, at least ten of which still exist in some form. This thesis discusses women's participation in the Mamluk culture of patronage and construction, looking at monuments associated with women not only as a body of work but as the architecture of individual players within the larger building context of Mamluk Cairo. Relying on architectural evidence as well as topographical literature and historical sources, this thesis offers a chronological narrative of women's architecture, …
Land, Power And Interests: Reshaping The Law Of Endowments Of Agricultural Lands In Mamluk Egypt, Dalia Hussein
Land, Power And Interests: Reshaping The Law Of Endowments Of Agricultural Lands In Mamluk Egypt, Dalia Hussein
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis seeks to study the development of the law of endowment of agricultural lands in Mamluk Egypt, by contextualizing historically the fatwas related to these endowments. I argue that, in light of the prevailing economic and social circumstances, legal development during this era occurred as a response to the political, social and economic interests of the religious scholars and of the ruling elite, and as a result of the interaction between the interests of the former and power of the latter.
Piety And Power: Pious Endowments In The Bahrī Mamlūk Period, 1250-1382, Muhammad Shaaban
Piety And Power: Pious Endowments In The Bahrī Mamlūk Period, 1250-1382, Muhammad Shaaban
Theses and Dissertations
The narrative chronicles that document the Mamlūk Empire frequently mention the various pious endowments (sing. waqf, pl. awqāf) of their day. This institution’s importance to the social, political and economic spheres of the Mamlūk Empire is evident by the numerous treatises written about pious endowment and the impressive amount of endowed buildings built from the mid-thirteenth century till the early sixteenth century. This study intends to investigate why this institution became so pervasive during the Bahrī period (648-792 A.H./1250-1382 A.D.) by examining endowed institutions in their entirety. While investigating the endowments of Qalāwūnid sultans, this thesis argues that endowments were …

Farm To Fork: Cairo’S Food Supply And Distribution During The Mamluk Sultanate (1250-1517), Anthony Teke Quickel
Theses and Dissertations
The wealth of Cairo’s markets throughout the Mamlūk period is well attested in the sources. From roving peddlers to stationary markets, the city’s food supply was a testament to Egypt’s agricultural bounty. This study attempts to understand the food economy that provisioned these food markets. In doing so, Egypt’s agricultural production, its transportation network, distribution system, and Cairo’s markets are discussed with a focus towards understanding both the nature of the many aspects of the Mamūk food economy as well as the changes occurring within it. In providing an overall description of the mechanisms by which the Mamlūk food economy …

Mamluk Female Patronage, Nanis Nabil Hanna
Mamluk Female Patronage, Nanis Nabil Hanna
Archived Theses and Dissertations
This thesis is discussing the topic of Mamliik Female Patronage in Egypt and how it differed from its contemporaries in Jerusalem, Seljuq Anatolia, and Timurid Iran. This subject, however, has not attracted the attention of many scholars, probably, because the information provided by the chronicles and biographers oqhe Mamliik period is scattered and incidental. This is also related to the age-long assumption that women had neither the economic resources nor the legal standing to commission works of art or buildings. The scholars who approached this topic were dealing with the subject from an architectural point of view and not in …
