Book by Michael Hamilton Burgoyne providing a comprehensive architectural history of Jerusalem under Mamluk rule (1250–1517), documenting the built environment of the Old City with detailed plans, elevations, and historical analysis. Burgoyne catalogues Mamluk-era buildings around the Haram al-Sharif, tracing how Mamluk sultans invested in the city's sacred architecture as an expression of political legitimacy and religious patronage. The study has become a standard reference for the architectural history of Islamic Jerusalem, cited by Rashid Khalidi, among others. An indispensable reference for architectural historians, urban planners, and scholars of Islamic history studying the built fabric of the Old City of Jerusalem, providing the most comprehensive survey available in English of Mamluk-era structures and their historical context.
