Summary:Starting from 135 manuscripts that were once part of the library of the late Mamluk sultan Qanisawh al-Ghawri (r. 1501-1516), this book challenges the dominant narrative of a 'post-court era', in which courts were increasingly marginalized in the field of adab. Rather than being the literary barren field that much of the Arabic and Arabic-centred sources, produced extra muros, would have us believe, it recognizes Qanisawh's court as a rich and vibrant literary site and a cosmopolitan hub in a burgeoning Turkic literary ecumene. It also re-centres the ruler himself within this court. No longer the passive object of panegyric or the source of patronage alone, Qanisawh has an authorial voice in his own right, one that is idiosyncratic yet in conversation with other voices. As such, while this book is first and foremost a book about books, it is one that consciously aspires to be more than that: a book about a library, and, ultimately, a book about the man behind the library, Qanisawh al-Ghawri. -- Provided by publisher.

Minor handling wear only, book is fresh, clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This study undertakes the ambitious intellectual reconstruction of the lost library of the Mamluk Sultan Qanisawh al-Ghawri. Lacking a surviving catalogue, the work is built upon the meticulous identification and tracing of one hundred and thirty-five individual manuscript items from repositories worldwide, linked to the sultan through explicit ownership marks, dedications, commissions, or his own authorship. This foundational inventory of surviving volumes serves as the basis for a multi-layered analysis. The author profiles the collection's characteristics - identifying it as a newly established and primarily local assembly of books - and explores its clustered diversity, noting both favored topics and suspiciously underrepresented fields. The text carefully navigates the epistemological leap from simply 'browsing' individual items to 'reconstructing' a whole collection, consciously addressing the potential for fallacious generalizations based on fortuitous survival. The analysis extends from the books to the man behind them, using the collection to help identify Qanisawh's persona as an early modern ruler shaping the novel monarchic script of the Turkic Sufistic poet-sultan. Finally, the study charts the 'afterlife' of these volumes, tracing their dispersal following the Ottoman conquest. It ultimately presents a methodological model for recovering lost collections and provides a unique window into the cultural and intellectual milieu of a late Mamluk sovereign.-- Contents: 1. A Library Imagined. On Qanisawh's Cairo and How to Return There 2. A Library Browsed. A First Instalment of One Hundred and Thirty-Five Items 3. A Library Profiled. Observations on What's in There, and What's Not 4. A Library Identified. From the Library of the Man to the Man Behind the Library 5. A Library Shattered.
