Abstract

The paper is based on a manuscript from the Royal Library in Copenhagen (“Poёmata Sultani Kanszuh el-Gauri” Cod. Arab. 280). It contains materials that haven’t been considered in Russian historiography. Forty two poems by a penultimate mamluk sultan al-Ghuri are presented in the manuscript. This is a very rare example of mamluk poetry. The research includes description of the manuscript, translation of some fragments and analyse of their content.

Keywords:

Arabic manuscripts, Qansuh al-Ghuri, mamluks
