This is devoted to the study of the
Mamluk sultanate of Egypt and Syria (648-922/1250-1517), which
coincides roughly with the Rasulid dynasty in Yemen. The price of

electronic publication of specialty journals. Volume 1 contains
articles by Donald P. Little ("Documents as a Source for Mamluk
History"), Li Guo ("Mamluk Historiographic Studies: The State of
the Art"), W. W. Clifford ("Ubi Sumus? Social Theory and

Mamluk Age"), Doris Behrens-Abouseif (The Mamal Tradition and the
Pilgrimage of the Ladies in the Mamluk Court"), Donald Whitcomb
("Mamluk Archaeological Studies: A Review"), and Leonor Fernandes
("Mamluk Architecture and the Question of Patronage"), along with

Yemen Update
This is the official bulletin of the
American Institute for Yemeni Studies. It started out as AIYS
Newsletter in January, 1979 with a first issue of 8 pages.
This remained a small newsletter with information about research
in Yemen and a few short articles until Jon Mandaville took over
as editor in July 1985 (issue #18), expanding it to include more
bibliographic information, longer articles and an Arabic section.
By the end of 1989 this newsletter had reached 30 plus pages per
issue. In 1991 Dan Varisco became editor (issue #28/29) and
changed the name to Yemen Update. In 1992 the newsletter
became a bulletin with most issues averaging 48 pages. In 1993 the
section "Index Yemenicus" began as a guide to new publications on
Yemen. Yemen Update is provided free of charge to members
of AIYS. For information on joining AIYS, contact Dr. Maria Ellis,
Executive Director, AIYS, POB 311, Ardmore, PA 19003-0311.
