MAMLU±K STUDIES
REVIEW
Published by the MIDDLE EAST DOCUMENTATION CENTER (MEDOC)
THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
Mamlu≠k Studies Review is a biannual refereed journal devoted to the study of the Mamluk Sultanate
of Egypt and Syria (648–922/1250–1517). It appears in January and July. The goals of Mamlu≠k
Studies Review are to take stock of scholarship devoted to the Mamluk era, nurture communication
within the field, and promote further research by encouraging the critical discussion of all aspects
of this important medieval Islamic polity. The journal includes both articles and reviews of recent
books. Submissions of original work on any aspect of the field are welcome, although the editorial
board will periodically issue volumes devoted to specific topics and themes. Mamlu≠k Studies
Review also solicits edited texts and translations of shorter Arabic source materials (waqf deeds,
letters, fata≠wá and the like), and encourages discussions of Mamluk era artifacts (pottery, coins,
etc.) that place these resources in wider contexts. Transliterated Middle Eastern languages should
conform to the system utilized by the Library of Congress. All questions regarding style should be
resolved through reference to The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th edition. All submissions should
be typed double-spaced. Submissions must be made on labeled computer disk together with a
printed copy. The print copy should have full and proper diacritics, but the disk copy should have
no diacritics of any kind.
