Description

Arabic Documents from Medieval Nubia presents a collection of Arabic documents from 11th and 12th century AD, discovered at Qaṣr Ibrīm in southern Egypt. This edition includes English translations and an in-depth analysis of the documents' contents and historical context. The documents shed new light on relations between Egypt and Nubia during the High Middle Ages, particularly in the Fatimid period. They are significant because previous studies based on Arabic sources have relied heavily on historiographical accounts written long after the events described, often with biased perspectives. This volume provides a unique insight into historical events previously underrepresented by Arabic sources alone.
