The Book of Clear Arabic Expression regarding the Arab Tribes of Egypt
An edition, translation and study of al-MaqrÄ«zÄ«âs al-BayÄn waâl-iÊ¿rÄb Ê¿ammÄ bi-arḠMiá¹£r min al-aÊ¿rÄb
Series: - Bibliotheca Maqriziana, Volume: 10
Al-BayÄn waâl-iÊ¿rÄb Ê¿ammÄ fÄ« arḠMiá¹£r min al-aÊ¿rÄb is an influential treatise on the Arab and Berber groups that inhabited the Egyptian countryside in the late medieval period. The work brings together al-MaqrÄ«zÄ«âs life-long preoccupation with the history of Egypt and his parallel interest in the history of the Arabs, pitting the lineage-based ideology of Arab rebels against the Mamluk elite of manumitted slaves. Over the past century, the BayÄn has been repeatedly deployed in public debates about the Arab identity of Egypt. This book offers a critical study of the treatise in its fifteenth century context, an academic edition, and a first translation into English.
