This is an illustrated study of the splendour of Mamluk art & architecture. Before the dawn of medieval Europe`s Renaissance, the city of Cairo under the Mamluks had become the centre of a powerful empire. The reign of the Mamluk Sultans
- descendants of Turkic & Circassian slaves captured by the Ottomans
- marked a dramatic flowering of Islamic art & architecture. Having defeated the Mongols in the Middle East & broken the bonds of their former Ottoman overlords, they established themselves as masters of Egypt & Syria & the holy sites of Arabia & Palestine.

The wealth this created enabled the Mamluks to produce art & architecture on a scale & at a level of splendour which had not previously been known in the medieval world.
