The Dissident Historian of the Mamluk Period, Maḳrīzī and His Criticism and Comments on the Abbasid State in His Work Named al-Sulûk

Summary/Abstract: Makrīzī, who is considered one of the great historians of the Mamluk period, is known for his support for siyeru as well as his adherence to the Arab asabiyya and for his dissident attitude. Makrīzī, who wrote works in various fields of history, also discussed the Abbasid State in Kitâb al-Sulûk, which is among them, with its main lines. His findings and comments here are worth considering as they reflect a different view of the history of this state. Because Makrīzī is an interesting historian who dared to criticize the Abbasids by going beyond the views of the general public in a medium where some members of this dynasty were brought to Egypt and declared as caliphs after the Abbasid State was destroyed and the society and the ulama(scholars) showed great respect and kindness to them. Therefore, Makrīzī, who is the founder of the Egyptian historiography school and a knowledgeable historian, as well as these features, his brave attitude and opposing attitude make it important to reveal his determinations and evaluations about the Abbasid history. In this study, first of all, Makrīzī, his personality and his historiography were discussed. Particular emphasis was placed on the fact that he was a member of the Ulama family, his good education and his vast knowledge on historiography.
