Paperback. Condition: New. Recounts the life of Egypt's greatest historian, analyses his work and assesses its impact then and nowOffers the most complete, probing and layered biography of al-Maqrizi Interprets al-Maqrizi's historical output as a long-term scholarly project revolving around his famous Khitat to capture the entire history of EgyptAnalyses al-Maqrizi's approach and methodologies in light of his beliefs, ethics, feelings, education, social standing, world views, politics and personal circumstancesDistills from al-Maqrizi's massive textual output insights into his theorising, conception of history and the influence of his teacher Ibn KhaldunRestores him to the pinnacle of Mamluk historiographical tradition as an unusually outspoken critic who was animated by his moral rectitudeAlthough al-Maqrizi is recognised as the most influential historian of pre-modern Egypt, he has never received the probing historical treatment warranted by his standing and scholarly output. This book fills that gap. Arranged in three sections, it tells al-Maqrizi's life story in the first, weaves it with historiographical, textual and methodological analysis of his oeuvre in the second, and reconstructs the afterlife of the author and his work down to the present in the third part.al-Maqrizi is presented both as a man of his age who forged a distinct and unique scholarly persona and a historian with a structured and principled project aiming to reconstruct the history of Islamic Egypt in all its facets. His, however, was a critical stance with moral overtones, conceived from within the epistemological framework of a medieval Muslim thinker, which ensured not only his reputation in his own historiographical tradition, but also his reclamation in the modern Egyptian consciousness as one of the most original voices of Egypt.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 16,5 x 24 cm, 6 ½ x 9 ½ in, 376 pages, 286 illustrations - What is it that gives places their individual qualities and defines the life of a city? Architects and urbanists are accustomed to describing and creating the organizational structures, the layouts and physical attributes of our cities. But what are the relations between the design of a cityits formand the life engendered by that form? Responding to this question is the inspiration for In the Life of Cities. Contributors from a wide range of fields address the inseparability of urban life and urban form. Portfolios of contemporary photography assert the layered realities of urban life today. Featured cities: Baku, Bucharest, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Caracas, Chicago, Dakar, Detroit, Hong Kong, Houston, Jakarta , Johannesburg, London, Moscow, Mumbai, Paris, Quito, São Paulo, St. Petersburg, Tel Aviv, Tirana, Tokyo, and Toronto.
