The Mamluk period of Egypt extends from 1260 to the Ottoman invasion of 1516. Kurr's theoretical text is the only surviving resource for the study of music in Cairo during this period. It is valuable not just for its singularity, but for its depth and richess of subject matter. This book presents a critical edition of the text, as well as detailed commentary and analysis. With a prelude, introduction, glossary, bibliography and index. Figures.
