Holy War And Rapprochement Studies In The Relations Between The Mamluk Sultanate And The Mongol Ilkhanate 12601335

"The present volume is based on four lectures given at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes in Paris in February 2007, and first provides an overview of the military struggle between these two regional powers, continues with a detailed discussion of the ideological posturing and sparring between them - both before and after the conversion of the Mongos to Islam in the 1290s, and finally reviews and compares how the Mamluks and Mongols presented themselves to the local mainly Muslim, populations that they ruled."
