metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Ottoman rule in Egypt lasted approximately three centuries: from the overthrow of the Mamluk
  Sultanate by Selim I in 1517 up to the French invasion in 1798. Formally, Egypt remained a part of the
  Ottoman Empire until World War I. The first, i.e. 16th century, is generally described in less detail due
  to the lack of materials and sources for this period.
  The publication is focused on one of the sources of the second half of the 16th century in the
  history of Egypt, the “Description of Cairo of 1599” written by the Ottoman statesman, historian and
  poet Mustafa Ali Effendi (1541–1600). This work was completed by the author shortly before his death.
  It contents a collection of the author’s notes about everything that he saw in Cairo during his short stay
  in this city. The author gives little space to historical events and mainly describes the various aspects
  in the life of Egyptians. The book contains a lot of vivid descriptions of Egyptian society including
  information related to the ruling class and the army. Refs 13.
