A Strange Discussion on Indian Weapons

That would be an interesting book to read. I think in terms of material culture however early 19th century mamluks would have been more influenced by Ottoman culture than 13th-16th century Mamluke sultanate culture. Certainly the costumes worn by the mamluks of this period were Ottoman.

I'll see if I can get hold of it. My French is bit rusty now, but hopefully i should still be able to read a book

.

BTW what language were the mamluks speaking among themselves in Rustam's time? Were they still speaking Qipchaq?
