ASK Working Paper
History and Society during the Mamluk Era (1250-1517)
ISSN: 2193-925X
The Annemarie Schimmel Kolleg will provide an institutional
center for a period of eight years for the 50-60 Mamluk scholars who are
dispersed all over the globe. The concept emphasizes two issues: Firstly, the
Kolleg members will provide long-lasting impulses for Mamluk Studies through
their individual projects (a specific “Mamluk Studies” series, a Compendium on
the History and Society of the Mamluk Era, an online bibliography, articles in
the Mamluk Studies Review). In addition, the Speaker will, supported by a
research professorship (“Annemarie-Schimmel-Chair for Mamluk Studies”), and in
cooperation with four of his Bonn colleagues [Mathias Becher (Medieval
History), Ralph Kauz (Sinology), Peter Schwieger (Tibetology), Reinhard Zöllner
(Japanology)] integrate the Mamlukists by means of topic-oriented annual
programs (1st Year: The Mamluk Empire in its “Global” Context , 2nd Year:
Economic Areas of Interaction, 3rd Year: “Rule” in the Mamluk Empire - A
Cross-cultural Comparison, 4th Year: Culture-specific Narrative Strategies in
Mamluk Era Historiographical Sources) into interdisciplinary and innovative
research topics. Young Arabic scholars will receive focused support within a
group of scholarship recipients that will be integrated into the Kolleg.
