A History of Egypt in the Middle Ages

This book contains Stanley Lane-Poole¿s 1901 work; ¿A History of Egypt in the Middle Ages¿. It is a comprehensive chronicle of Egypt in the Middle Ages from its conquest by the Saracens in 640, to its annexation by the Ottoman Turks in 1516. A fantastically detailed volume, ¿A History of Egypt in the Middle Ages¿ is recommended for all those with an interest in Egyptian history, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: ¿The Arab Conquest, 639¿641¿, ¿A Province of the Caliphate, 641¿868¿, ¿Tulun and Ikhshid, 868¿969¿, ¿The Shi¿A Revolution, 969¿, ¿The Fatimid Caliphs, 969¿1094¿, ¿The Attack from the East, 969¿1094¿, ¿The Attack from the East, 969¿1171¿, etcetera. Stanley Edward Lane-Poole (1854 - 1931), was a British archaeologist and orientalist. Many vintage texts such as this - particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before - are increasingly hard to come by and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
