alusur-7022	 Mauder, Christian ; Markiewicz, Christopher 	A New Source on the Social Gatherings (majalis) of the Mamluk Sultan Qānṣawh al-Ghawrī	2016-11-15	4	.pdf	application/pdf	2224	101	63	As with the other works of this small genre, the anonymous author of al-ʿUqūd al-jawhariyya organized his work around several topical gatherings (majālis): 1) on certain noble questions and the stories of the prophets, 2) on kings and sultans, 3) on the wisdom of the philosophers (fī ḥikmat al-ḥukamāʾ), and 4) on the schemes and duplicity of women.11 The two extant manuscripts only cover the first two topics. The participants in the majālis occasionally reference authoritative sources, such as al-Ṭabarī (d. 310/923) or al-Ḥasan ibn Muḥammad 10.	cache/alusur-7022.pdf	txt/alusur-7022.txt
