| Abstract | ||||
| Muḥammad Ibn Manglī is one of the important writers in the late Mamluk period, who has written about the art of war in the Eastern Mediterranean. He has many historical works, nearly fourteen works, from which there is an important and valuable treatise, al-Aḥkām al-Mulūkiyya wal-ḍawābeṭ al-Nāmūsiyya fī fann al-Qitāl fī al-Baḥr [The Royal Orders and Divine arrangements in the Art of Naval warfare]. We can say that this is the sole and complete work, which speaks on the art of naval warfare in the Middle Ages, especially in the Eastern Mediterranean. On the European side, especially in Byzantium, we have some chapters speak of naval warfare in different works, such as the chapter of “Peri Naumachia” in the Tactica of the Byzantine emperor Leo the Wise (886-912 AD). However, there is not a complete Byzantine work such as Ibn Manglī’s al-Aḥkām al-Mulūkiyya. | ||||
