| book description |

Christian Mauderâ€™s In the Sultanâ€™s Salon builds on his award-winning research and constitutes the first detailed study of the Egyptian court culture of the Mamluk Sultanate (1250â€“1517). Based mainly on understudied Arabic manuscript sources describing the learned salons of the Mamluk Sultan al-GhawrÄ«, In the Sultanâ€™s Salon presents the first theoretical conceptualization of the term â€œcourtâ€ that can be fruitfully applied to premodern Islamic societies. It uses this conceptualization to demonstrate that al-GhawrÄ«â€™s court functioned as a transregionally interconnected center of dynamic intellectual exchange, theological debate, and performance of rule that triggered novel developments in Islamic scholarly, religious, and political culture.
