The History of the Jews in Egypt and Syria under Mamluk Rule is the name of a series of books by Eliyahu Ashtor, an orientalist and scholar of the Levant in the Middle Ages. The series includes three volumes, published between 1944 and 1970, describing the history of the Jewish communities in Egypt and Syria and their leaders during the Mamluk rule, from 1250 CE (the murder of the last Ayyubid amir Turanshah and the takeover of rule in Egypt by the Bahri Mamluks) until 1517 (the Ottoman conquest of Egypt). In the first two volumes, Ashtor incorporated information based on documents and records from the researched time period, from Muslim, Christian and Jewish sources, including documents from the Cairo Genizah, being the first to do so.[1]
