This paper investigates the study of documenting history by studying the resources of Ibn Iya’s, a contemporary historian, in his book Bada’i al-Zuhu’r about the Ottoman-Mamluk conflict. An attempt is made to identify and assess the value of the sources he relied on in studying this conflict and his methodology in choosing his sources. It appears that his sources are divided into four groups: 1. Official reports issued by the Mamluk state 2. Reports written by the people who were involved in the conflict 3. Oral narratives presented by the people involved in the conflict 4. The observation of Ibin I’aas of the events, the oral narratives circulated by the people in Cairo and the poems that depicted the events. This research chronicles history by studying Ibn Iyas’s resources in the book Bada’i al-Zuhur about the Mamluk-Ottoman conflict, and he is a contemporary historian of that conflict. Thus, this study is an attempt to clarify the quality of the sources he relied on, their value in studying that conflict, and his method of choosing its resources, which turned out to be based on four levels of resources: official reports issued by the Mamluk state, reports submitted by participants in the conflict, oral narratives provided by participants in the conflict, and Ibn Iyas’s observations of the events, in addition to its reliance on the oral narratives transmitted by the people of Cairo, and the poetry that chronicled the events.
