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 Qalāwūn and al-Ashraf,
and include the court perspective of Ibn ‘Abd al-Ẓāhir, the later biography by his nephew Shafī‘, and the writings of the Mamluk historian Baybars al-Mansūrī.
