This volume is a collection of research essays submitted by fellows of the Annemarie Schimmel Kolleg, an Advanced Center of Research in Mamluk Studies. It covers three themes, which correspond to the research agenda of the final three academic years of the Annemarie Schimmel Kolleg. These were: environmental history, material culture studies, and im/mobility. The aim of the contributions is to overcome the disciplinary boundaries of the field and to engage in scholarly debates in Ottoman Studies, European history, archae-ology and art history, and even the natural sciences.

Dr Abdelkader Al Ghouz studied Islamic studies, translation and political science. He completed his Ph.D. in Near and Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Bonn. Since October 2016, he has been the academic coordinator for the Annemarie Schimmel Kolleg Centre for Advanced Studies. His research focuses on Mamluk history, Islamic philosophy, theology, and contemporary Arabic thought.
