在过去的十年里，马穆鲁克史学研究的发展并不平衡。一方面，大量重要的马木鲁克资料--编年史、传记词典、地理和行政百科全书以及关于历史理论的论文--都经过编辑，因此加入了我们日益壮大的马木鲁克图书馆。另一方面，我们继续目睹致力于马穆鲁克历史学家和他们的著作的文章的匮乏，更少的专著；自从让·索维杰、克劳德·卡恩、唐纳德·利特尔和乌尔里希·哈曼的开创性作品以来，我们还没有看到任何对这一非凡时代的历史思想和写作的开创性研究，这一特殊时代通常被认为是伊斯兰历史上最多产的历史和档案文献产出之一。因此，这一审查不仅为总结情况提供了一个受欢迎的机会，而且也为与感兴趣的同事分享想法提供了一个受欢迎的机会。我的评论来自于我对al-Yu≠n|n|(d.1326)的研究，以及在我自己的工作和整个领域中思考已经取得了什么和没有取得什么的伴随过程。在各种问题中，我发现有三个特别重要：马木鲁克资料的编辑，马木鲁克历史学家传记的研究，以及马木鲁克历史文本中体裁和形式发展的研究。
The past decade has seen an uneven development in Mamluk historiographic studies. On the one hand, a considerable number of important Mamluk sources—chronicles, biographical dictionaries, geographical and administrative encyclopedias as well as treatises on historical theory—have been edited and thus added to our growing Mamluk library. On the other, we continue to witness a dearth of articles, and even fewer monographs, devoted to Mamluk historians and their writings; not since the pioneering works of Jean Sauvaget, Claude Cahen, Donald Little, and Ulrich Haarmann have we seen any ground-breaking study of the historical thought and writing of this extraordinary era, which is commonly believed to have been one of the most prolific in Islamic history for its output of historical and archival documentation. This review thus offers a welcome opportunity not only for stock-taking, but also for sharing thoughts with interested colleagues. My comments are informed by my research on al-Yu≠ n|n| (d. 1326) and a concomitant process of contemplating what has been achieved and what has not, in my own work and in the field at large. Among the various issues, I find three especially important: the editing of Mamluk sources, the study of the biographies of Mamluk historians, and the study of the development of genres and forms in Mamluk historical texts.
