The Civilian Elite of Cairo in the Later Middle Ages (Princeton Legacy Library, 687) - Hardcover
This pioneer study presents a quantitative analysis of the civilian elite in Mamluk Cairo. Using information about 4,631 individuals drawn from two fifteenth-century biographical dictionaries, Carl Petry explores the geographic origins of the civilian elite (the 'ulama') and the distribution of their residences and places of work in Cairo.
Originally published in 1982.
