    Also, while I've been researching I came across this website from the University of Chicago. I haven't had a chance to get through it all, but it seems like a good place to look if you need help gather sources. http://mamluk.uchicago.edu/msr.html

    I found 3 interesting reviews on the Levanoni book from the source list, if anyone is interested.

    I reserved a study room at Memorial Library for whoever would like to come.
    Its Thursday the 16th, from 8 till closing in room 579.
    As of right now, i may arrive later than 8 due to an exam, but the room will be open for us.

    Hey everyone,
    I'm working on Mamluke slavery as a means of ethnic control by Islamic rulers; I'll also be taking a look at military slavery's wider implications for the preservation/expansion of Islam. If anyone is looking for help on this I'd recommend Ayalon, Islam and the Abode of War chapters 1-2. In particular, Ayalon has some decent (but short) notes on the rise of Mamluks in the Abbasid Empire. Shoot me an email if you want anything more; there is some good (but also short) stuff in Lapidus as well. My email is sclegg@wisc.edu

    Hey all,
    Just wanted to give the heads up that I will be at the library on Sunday hopefully writing a rough draft if anyone wants to join me. Shoot me an email tonight or tomorrow morning at jjurss@wisc.edu tonight or tomorrow for when you want to go over. I am running a race tomorrow morning so I was thinking sometime in the mid afternoon. Hope to see you there.

    I feel like I have a rough idea, but what exactly would be a kind of text book definition of a "classical mamluk system" that is referenced in the prompt.

    If anyone is using Lavanoni and is can't read some of the pages a good portion of the book is up on google books. Here is the link
