  • Cilician Armenian Mediation in Crusader-Mongol Politics, C.1250-1350
    HAYTON OF KORYKOS AND LA FLOR DES ESTOIRES: CILICIAN ARMENIAN MEDIATION IN CRUSADER-MONGOL POLITICS, C.1250-1350 by Roubina Shnorhokian A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (January, 2015) Copyright ©Roubina Shnorhokian, 2015 Abstract Hayton’s La Flor des estoires de la terre d’Orient (1307) is typically viewed by scholars as a propagandistic piece of literature, which focuses on promoting the Ilkhanid Mongols as suitable allies for a western crusade. Written at the court of Pope Clement V in Poitiers in 1307, Hayton, a Cilician Armenian prince and diplomat, was well-versed in the diplomatic exchanges between the papacy and the Ilkhanate. This dissertation will explore his complex interests in Avignon, where he served as a political and cultural intermediary, using historical narrative, geography and military expertise to persuade and inform his Latin audience of the advantages of allying with the Mongols and sending aid to Cilician Armenia. This study will pay close attention to the ways in which his worldview as a Cilician Armenian informed his perceptions. By looking at a variety of sources from Armenian, Latin, Eastern Christian, and Arab traditions, this study will show that his knowledge was drawn extensively from his inter-cultural exchanges within the Mongol Empire and Cilician Armenia’s position as a medieval crossroads. The study of his career reflects the range of contacts of the Eurasian world. ii Acknowledgements This project would not have been possible without the financial support of SSHRC, the Marjorie McLean Oliver Graduate Scholarship, OGS, and Queen’s University.

  • Arabic in Speech, Turkish in Lineage

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.

  • David Ayalon, 84, Israeli Scholar of Muslim History and Arabic - the New York Times
    12/5/2018 David Ayalon, 84, Israeli Scholar Of Muslim History and Arabic - The New York Times ARCHIVES | 1998 David Ayalon, 84, Israeli Scholar Of Muslim History and Arabic By JOEL GREENBERG JUNE 27, 1998 David Ayalon, a scholar of Muslim history who pioneered research on the Mameluke dynasties of Egypt and compiled what is considered the most authoritative Arabic-Hebrew dictionary, died in Jerusalem on Thursday. He was 84. The cause was cancer, acquaintances said. Born in Haifa in 1914, Professor Ayalon received a doctorate from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and founded its department of modern Middle East studies in 1949, heading it until 1956. From 1963 to 1967 he headed the Institute of Asian and African Studies at the Hebrew University. He was most widely known in Israel for the Arabic-Hebrew dictionary that he compiled with Prof. Pesach Shinar. The volume has become a standard tool for generations of Israeli students of Arabic and a resource for Arabic speakers studying Hebrew. First published in 1947, the ''Arabic-Hebrew Dictionary of Modern Arabic'' has gone through 22 printings and has sold more than 80,000 copies. Professor Ayalon did ground-breaking research on the Mamelukes, a military caste of former slaves that ruled Egypt from 1250 to 1517. ''Today he is undoubtedly first in the world in the study of this field,'' Professor Shinar said. ''The bottom line of his research was that it was the Mamelukes who saved Islam from the invading Mongols who sacked Baghdad. He had a broad view, and his work covered wide areas that were critical to the fate of the region and the history of Islam.'' In 1972 Professor Ayalon was awarded Israel's highest civilian award, the Israel Prize, for his studies of the army and society in Muslim lands.

  • RISE and FALL of MAMLUK SULTANATE the Struggle Against Mongols and Crusaders in Holy War
    RISE AND FALL OF MAMLUK SULTANATE The Struggle Against Mongols and Crusaders in Holy War Yelmi Eri Firdaus* UIN Imam Bonjol Padang [email protected] Elfia UIN Imam Bonjol Padang [email protected] Meirison UIN Imam Bonjol Padang [email protected] Abstract: For 300 years, precisely from 1250 to 1517, the Mamluk Dynasty ruled in Egypt and Syria. Their power ended after the conquest of the Ottoman Turks, who later built a new empire. The writer wants to describe how the slave nation could become a ruler who gained legitimacy from Muslims. Mamluk is a soldier who comes from slaves who have converted to Islam. "The mamluk phenomenon," as David Ayalon called it, was an extremely large and long-lived important politic, which lasted from the 9th century to the 19th century AD. Over time, Mamluk became a robust military caste in various Muslim societies. Especially in Egypt, but also the Levant, Iraq, and India, mamluks hold political and military power. In some cases, they gained the position of the Sultan, while in other cases, they held regional power as amir or beys. The historical method starts with collecting literature, sorting, and analyzing and interpreting the writer doing historiography on the dynamics of this mamluk dynasty government. A dynasty filled with phenomenon, which originated from slaves and then turned into the ruler of a vast territory. Not only that, but the slaves were also able to defeat big countries like France, Portugal, and Italy. The Mamluk Sultanate was famous for repelling the Mongols and fighting with the Crusaders.

We will end with the complex relationship between Islam and transatlantic slavery and various ethical and political implications of the history of religiously validated enslavement. We will consider a range of sources, including legal material and popular literature. Prior knowledge of Middle Eastern or Islamic history is not required.

    The Frankish Nobility and The Fall of Acre: Diplomacy, Society, and War in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, c.1240-1291 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Jesse W. Izzo IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Michael Lower October 2016 © Jesse W. Izzo, May 2016 i Acknowledgements It is a welcome task indeed to thank some of the many individuals and institutions that have helped me bring this project to fruition. I have enjoyed a good deal of financial support from various institutions without which this project would not have been possible. I extend my heartfelt thanks to the UMN Graduate School and College of Liberal Arts; to the History Department; to the Centers for Medieval Studies and Early Modern History at Minnesota; to the U.S. Department of Education for providing me with a Foreign Language and Area Studies award to study Arabic; and to the U.S.-Israel Education Foundation and Fulbright program, for making possible nine months of research in Jerusalem I cannot name all the marvelous educators I had in secondary school, so O.J. Burns and Ian Campbell of Greens Farms Academy in Westport, CT, two of the very best there have ever been, will need to stand for everyone. Again, I had too many wonderful professors as an undergraduate to thank them all by name, but I do wish to single out Paul Freedman of Yale University for advising my senior essay. My M.Phil. supervisor, Jonathan Riley-Smith, emeritus of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, helped set me on my way in researching the Crusades and the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, as he has done for so many students before me.
