Through thematic essays and detailed object entries, the book reveals how the Mamluks, originally a military caste, developed a distinct visual and material culture, becoming powerful patrons of architecture, urbanism and the arts. It also highlights the Mamluks' global connections, evincing their links with China, Europe, sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian Ocean world. Bridging military history with artistic innovation, this volume traces how the Mamluks shaped not only their own territories but also the broader cultural and commercial networks of the late medieval era.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 12 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 05, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47556723867901,"sku":"9789948697916","price":55.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/Qf6CYSlH9v9789948697916.webp?v=1779328505","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/mamluks-legacy-of-an-empire-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
