Call for Book Reviewers - Mamluk Studies Review
Mamluk Studies Review is an bi-annual journal (January, July) devoted
to the study of the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt and Syria
(648-922/1250-1517). The goals of MSR are to take stock of scholarship
devoted to the Mamluk era, nurture communication within the field, and
to promote further research by encouraging the critical discussion of
all aspects of this important medieval Islamic polity. The journal
includes both articles and reviews of recent books.

A particular interest of MSR's book reviews section is to facilitate
awareness of publications in Arabic, both of recent original
scholarship and editions of Mamluk period texts. Competence in one or
more of the following languages is also welcomed: English, German,
French, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese.

We currently have a large stock of books for review, including numerous
recent editions of texts. If anyone is interested in writing a review
for MSR, please contact me at the email address below. Please indicate
your institutional affiliation, any publications, language competence,
and areas of interest (history, literature, etc.).

Regards,
David C. Reisman
