AI-generated Abstract

Ibn Shaddad (d. 1285) played a significant role in the political and cultural landscape of the Ayyubid and Mamluk periods. His historical works, particularly al-Aqlāq al-khāʾirah, represent a comprehensive view of Syria's topography and history, highlighting the transition between Ayyubid and Mamluk rule. This paper examines his contributions to historical documentation and the rich cultural legacy he left behind in the region, alongside a brief mention of Ibn Surayj and his influence in music.
