MAMLU±K STUDIES
REVIEW
Published by the MIDDLE EAST DOCUMENTATION CENTER (MEDOC)
THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
Mamlu≠k Studies Review is an annual refereed journal devoted to the study of the Mamluk Sultanate
of Egypt and Syria (648-922/1250-1517). 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 will include 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.
