Mustafa Banister presents a thorough investigation of a forgotten dynasty: the Cairene descendants of the Abbasid family. He uncovers the public and private lives of the 18 men invested as caliphs during the period of 'Mamluk' rule in Egypt and Syria (1250 1517) and reveals a nuanced understanding of the Abbasid Caliphate according to elite members of Syro-Egyptian society. In doing so, he addresses the function of the caliph and his office amidst the breakdown and recreation of each new socio-political order of the sultanate.

Banister examines the uniquely Cairene context of the idea and institution of the caliphate, including how it was socially and textually performed in the late medieval sultanate of Cairo.

"Mustafa Banister's masterful study captures the tensions between an institution of lofty stature in the medieval Islamic world with the reality of its minimal influence in the political hierarchy of the Mamluk Sultanate in Cairo that gave it a new lease on life. Banister's monograph is the definitive treatment of a critical topic that, to date, has been discussed tangentially." -Carl F. Petry, Northwestern University
