| Abstract
|
:
|
This is a study and edition of Munyatu'l-(')Guzat 'wish of the warriors of the Faith,' a fourteenth century Mamluk-Kipchak trea- tise on various aspects of furusiyya 'chivalric arts,' such as horse- manship, lance maneuvers, sword, archery and polo. It consists of a detailed linguistic and content analysis of the text, a transcription in modified Latin characters, an English translation, a complete glossary, an English index, an appendix of the technical terms used in the text, and the facsimile of the text. Munyatu'l-(')Guzat, one of a group of manuscripts called the Mamluk-Kipchak proper, represents the literary lanaguage of the Kipchak Turks, a part of the military elite that ruled the Mamluk Kingdom of Egypt and Syria between the 13-15 centuries. The study of this manuscript furthers our understanding of the Mamluk-Kipchak language in particular, provides linguistic material for the Middle Turkic period, and expands our knowledge of the history of medieval military skills and practices in the Islamic world.
