metadata.value: The author of this article focuses on the 16th century work “The End of the Temporary Dynasty
  and the Rise to Power of the Ottoman Dynasty” by the Egyptian historian Ibn Zunbul
  Al-Rammal (“History” by Ibn Zunbul) and the events of the Ottoman-Mamluk war of 1516–
  1517 described in it. This book is the author’s most significant work. It is written in an artistic
  style and recounts the defeat of the penultimate Mamluk sultan Qansuh al-Ghuri in the war
  with the Ottoman ruler Selim I and the subsequent occupation of Syria and Egypt by the Ottomans.
  In the work, Ibn Zunbul takes the greatest interest in two topics. First, he examines the
  causes of the conflict, which broke out between Selim I and Qansuh al-Ghuri and led to the
  collapse of the Mamluk empire. Second, Ibn Zunbul pose the question why the Mamluks lost
  the war against the Ottomans. Despite his undisguised admiration for the fighting qualities
  of the Mamluks as knights, their combat tactics and courage, he is forced to admit that they
  could not resist the firearms of the Ottomans, which they had been actively using for many
  decades. Ibn Zunbul’s “History” is one of three works in Arabic written by contemporaries
  that detail the Ottoman conquest of Egypt. The author attempts to define the significance of
  Ibn Zunbul’s work as a source in the history of Egypt in the first half of the 16th century.
