Ebook A History of Egypt in the Middle Ages

IN this volume the History of Egypt in the Middle Ages, from its conquest by the Saracens in 640 to its annexation by the Ottoman Turks in 1317, is for the first time related in a continuous narrative apart from the general history of the Mohammadan caliphate. In compressing the events of nearly nine centuries into a single volume, many interesting subjects are of necessity treated very brie?y, but the list of authorities at the head of each chapter will enable the student to obtain fuller details, especially if he is acquainted with Arabic.
