Miṣbāḥ al-dayājī
Miṣbāḥ al-dayājī…, by Ibn al-Nāsikh (d. after 696/1297), is one of the first and most important travel accounts written about Egypt and Cairo, ranking only second after Ibn ʿUthmān’s al-Durr al-munaẓẓam. It offers a rich topography of the cemeteries of Cairo and of the visitation (ziyāra) of the tombs of scholars, saints and pious figures. This critical edition was established and introduced by Ahmed Gomaa and published by the French Institute for Oriental Archaeology (IFAO), in the series Ziyārāt Miṣr wa-l-Qāhira.
