  • What's in a Mamluk Picture? the Hall of Portraiture at the Cairo Citadel
    chapter 20 What’s in a Mamluk Picture? The Hall of Portraiture at the Cairo Citadel Remembered Li Guo The Mamluk sulṭān al-Malik al-Ashraf Khalīl b. Qalāwūn (r. 689–693/1290– 1293) is perhaps best remembered for his triumph at Acre, the last Crusader outpost in the Near East. He was also one of the few rulers of Egypt and Syria in the pre-Ottoman era to have commissioned portraits for public display. Given the scarcity of references to figural representations in medieval Islam, the account of Khalīl’s Hall of Portraiture (īwān) at the Cairo Citadel deserves closer scrutiny. However, as the structure is no longer extant, historians must rely on textual evidence to re-imagine its illustrious past, even though it is very thin. Surviving accounts culled from chronicles amount to no more than a few sentences that differ from one another. In this article I introduce a new piece of textual evidence, a poem by the sulṭān’s panegyrist-cum-court-jester Ibn Dāniyāl (d. 710/1310), that describes the Hall in detail. After summariz- ing the poem, I discuss related issues pertaining to the use of adab material for historical inquiry. This article is dedicated to Professor Wadad Kadi whose scholarship, teaching, and friendship remain a source of admiration and inspi- ration for many of us. 1 The Poem The poem consists of nineteen lines (for a full translation, see the Appendix below).1 Lines 1–2, the preamble, draw parallels between Khalīl’s Hall and the famous Great Hall of Chosroes (īwān Kisrā) in ancient Ctesiphon, and make further references to the fantastic city of “Iram of the pillars,” built by the legendary Arabian king Shaddād of ʿĀd.2 Architectural specificity and divine 1 Ibn Dāniyāl, al-Mukhtār min shiʿr Ibn Dāniyāl, ikhtiyār Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn Khalīl ibn Aybak al-Ṣafadī, ed.

At the time of construction the mosque was considered remarkable for its fantastic size and innovative architectural components. Commissioned by an-Nasir Hasan, a sultan of a short and relatively unimpressive profile, al-Maqrizi noted that within the mosque were several "wonders of construction".The mosque was, for example, designed to include schools for all four of the Sunni schools of thought: Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanafi and Hanbali.

There are no preliminary quanti- tative analyses of fourteenth-century biograms, and even if they existed, such statistics would be of limited value, if not outrightly false. We still depend to a very large degree on the information of the local, non-Mamiuk, ulamiz' authors as far as the intellectual life of the period is concerned, even if the study of archival materials — and especially of endowment deeds giving details of the academic curriculum and titles of textbooks and selected private documents, for example death inventories, presenting the library holdings of a deceased scholar — will help us to place this information in the right perspective. The non- Mamluk scholars of the time tended to minimize the contribu- tion of alien, Mamluk authors to their own contemporary civilization. Therefore an analysis of this bias should precede * The first results of research pursued for this article were presented, under the title of `Mamluks and awkid a/-nar in the intellectual life of fourteenth-century Egypt and Syria', at the Seventh Oxford-Pennsylvania History Symposium in Oxford in the summer of 1977; the papers of this conference were never published, without any explanation as to the reasons for this ever being given by the editor who had volunteered to take over this task.
