The sultanate’s ruling caste was composed of Mamluks, Arabised soldiers of predominantly Kipchak Turk and Circassian slave origin. Though it declined towards the end of its existence, at its height the sultanate represented the zenith of Egyptian and Levantine political, economic, and cultural glory in the Islamic era. Its quasi multicultural character is thus also of relevance when considering the renewal of contemporary Islamic culture and civilisation.</p> <p>This communication is focusing on sultans’ and emir’s blazons and mottos decorating some objects of the unpublished ROM collection and examining them as a line evidence for dating in their historic, art historic and hierarchal contexts.</p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, journal={ICR Journal}, author={Moain, Sadeq}, year={2012}, month={Apr.}, pages={586–599} }
