The history of al-Quds under the Mamluks is rather obscure , with the exception of Mujîr al-Dîn's work, the city, despite its religious significance, inspired only a few scattered remarks in Mamluk chronicles.

This dissertation examines a specific dccumentary type, the estate inventory, which, along with related documents, represents the largest single group of documents in the collection. Using this new historical material, supplemented by literary and other documentary evidence, information on various aspects of al-Quds's history is brought to light.
