Mamluks Legacy of an Empire offers a meticulous and visually striking exploration of the Mamluk Sultanate, which governed Egypt, the Levant, and the Hejaz from 1250 to 1517. Published in collaboration with the Louvre Abu Dhabi and France Museums, this comprehensive volume reevaluates the historical and artistic narrative of a unique ruling class composed of former military slaves who evolved into extraordinary patrons of culture. The book details over 270 historical artifacts, showcasing masterfully illuminated manuscripts, intricate metalwork, glassware, and rare textiles that defined the Islamic Golden Age. Expertly curated essays contextualize these pieces within broader global networks, demonstrating how Mamluk diplomacy and trade reached from China across to Venice and Sub-Saharan Africa. Ideal for art historians and medieval enthusiasts alike, this publication serves as both a landmark exhibition companion and an enduring study of architectural, cultural, and political genius.
