Notes
Includes bibliographical references and indexes. | Ottoman Conquest of Egypt (1517) is the first collective work devoted to the victory of Selīm I over the Mamluks, which made the Ottoman sultanate the sole Muslim power in the Eastern Mediterranean, and reduced Egypt to the rank of a province. He renews the approach by drawing on very varied Ottoman, Arab and Western sources. The contributions brought together by Benjamin Lellouch and Nicolas Michel aim to measure the structural transformations that the event induced in society, the authorities, literary, artistic and material culture in Egypt. They explore its antecedents and its geopolitical impact, and restore the echoes, noisy then muffled, that it aroused, in the Middle East, in Italy, and more generally in the Mediterranean. Ottoman conquest of Egypt (1517) is the first collective work that deals with Selīm Ist's crushing victory over the Mamluks, which made the Ottoman sultanate into the sole remaining Muslim power in the eastern Mediterranean, and reduced Egypt to the rank of a province. The book offers new insights into this major event by using a wide range of Ottoman and Arabic as well as Western sources. These essays in French and English collected by Benjamin Lellouch and Nicolas Michel examine to what extent the Ottoman conquest altered the structures of Egyptian society, power relations, literature, arts and material culture. They explore both its backgrounds and geopolitical aftermath, and reconstruct its echoes - loud at first, then gradually fading out - in the Middle East, Italy, and the Mediterranean.
