Notes	Specter of Imagination transports us to a magical world that we never thought existed: the secret world of medieval Cairo. It presents to us a historical narrative that is completely different from the usual official history, which is dominated by sultans, princes, scholars, and dignitaries, so that the simple common people occupy the forefront of the scene, and through Ibn Daniel’s chapters, we can eavesdrop on the details of their lives and beliefs, the way they saw their rulers, and their limitless mockeries, as well as the colors of secret pleasures that they practiced with unparalleled greed. Kitāb Ṭayf al-Khayāl transports us to a magical world previously unknown to us: the secret Cairo in the Middle Ages. It presents an entirely different historical narrative from the conventional history dominated by sultans, princes, scholars, and elites. Instead, it brings the common people, the ordinary, to the forefront.
