Dear Friends,
We continue with our course Turning Points in the History of the Middle East, by viewing two lectures:
17. The Egyptian Mamluks – 1250
18. Mongols Sack Baghdad – 1258
The thirteenth century was a pivotal time for the Middle East, with the sacking of Baghdad marking the en of the Islamic Golden age (750-1250).
I look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
