Summary In Caliphate and Kingship in a Fifteenth-Century Literary History of Muslim Leadership and Pilgrimage Jo Van Steenbergen presents a new study, edition and translation of al-Ḏahab al-Masbk f Ḏikr man aa min al-ulaf' wa-l-Mulk , a summary history of the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca by al-Maqrz (766-845 AH/ca. 1365-1442 CE). Traditionally considered as a useful source for the history of the a , al-Ḏahab al-Masbk is re-interpreted here as a complex literary construction that was endowed with different meanings. Through detailed contextualist, narratological, semiotic and codicological analyses Van Steenbergen demonstrates how these meanings were deeply embedded in early-fifteenth century Egyptian transformations, how they changed substantially over time, and how they included particular claims about authorship and about legitimate and good Muslim rule.
