Description

A Window to the Past? Tracing Ibn Iyās's Narrative Ways of Worldmaking by Anna Kollatz is an in-depth analysis of the works of Ibn Iyās, a unique Arabic voice that witnessed the Ottoman conquest of Cairo. This book provides the first comprehensive examination of his complete works, focusing on his narrative voice and writing strategies. Through compilation analysis, the author reveals how Ibn Iyās adapted his representations of Egyptian history to his writing projects and audience, demonstrating how his ways of worldmaking were shaped by beliefs, biases, intellectual trends, and social context. This nuanced understanding allows readers to grasp his presentation of history as a reflection of his time. By exploring Ibn Iyās's narrative voice and writing strategies, this book offers a fresh perspective on the late Mamluk period and its historical significance.
