There was for some time, I was told, a well-contested race between them. Steam, however, with the start it had obtained, outstripped on this occasion the Abbasian courser. The Russians succeeded in landing their men and setting fire to the ship. The Circassians had only the poor satisfaction of killing twenty of them in their retreat. The differences existing between Nadir and the council were not confined to the subject of his powder. Having made up their minds that he must be an English ambassador, they would listen to no disclaimer he made to the contrary. His obstinacy on this point only served to irritate them, and they ended by telling him in plain terms, that if not an English ambassador, he must be a Russian spy. In this disagreeable dilemma I found him when I arrived at Ouwya, and we immediately laid our heads together to find out what was best to be done under it. We were assisted in our deliberations by Meh-met, who came the day after his brother, Ali Bey, who, if inferior to him in intelligence, surpassed him, as he did every other mortal I have met, in bulk and stature. Also among those who, under existing circumstances, were necessarily admitted to Nadir's confidence, were the individuals of his own suite--a rather motley train, HADJI PAULO. 177 picked up promiscuously in his travels. There was, in the first place, his dragoman, a Tartar or Polish renegade--a mongrel, or cross of the European and Asiatic, a sort of nondescript not uncommon in the Levant. He had served as interpreter to some of our most celebrated orientalists, but had chiefly spent his time in rambling all over...

I have been working on Circassian Mythology of Narts for a long time. As a result of these studies, which started about fifteen years ago, some questions arose in my mind about the Circassian Mythology of Narts. One of them is how many themes in the Circassian Mythology of Narts are universal and have not been noticed until today. However, it is very clear that many themes in the Circassian Mythology of Narts are universal. At least most of them are certainly not regional. Undoubtedly, the themes related to Nart Wezırmes are at the forefront of such universal ones. I am amazed that it has not been noticed until today that the narratives of the character Rama in the Indian epic Ramayana and the hero named Nart Wezırmes in the Circassian Mythology of Narts are actually texts based on the same story. In the same way, the thematic similarities between Nart Wezırmes and Egyptian Osiris have not been noticed until now, which intrigues me. I dealt with this subject in my book, titled The Ancient Secret of Circassian and Egyptian Mythologies, From Narts to Neters.

The historiography of the Early Mamluk Circassian period is prolific but has not yet received proper scholarly attention. For the first time, this study examines in a comprehensive manner the key sources for the reign of al-Zāhir Barqūq (784-91, 792-801/1382-9, 1390-9) in terms of their originality and importance. By means of a systematic analysis of the annals of three different years, it provides a critical evaluation of published and manuscript primary sources, identifies the nature of the interdependence amongst authors, and sheds new light on the craft of historical writing. This book fills a critical gap in the scholarship on Mamluk historiography. The author not only assesses the production of well-known historians (Ibn Khaldūn, Ibn al-Furāt, al-Maqrīzī, Ibn Taghrībirdī, etc.), but also studies pivotal authors (Ibn Duqmâq, Ibn Hijjī, etc.) whose works has been up until now either ignored or unknown.

Medieval slavery has received little attention relative to slavery in ancient Greece and Rome and in the early modern Atlantic world. This imbalance in the scholarship has led many to assume that slavery was of minor importance in the Middle Ages. In fact, the practice of slavery continued unabated across the globe throughout the medieval millennium. This volume – the final volume in The Cambridge World History of Slavery – covers the period between the fall of Rome and the rise of the transatlantic plantation complexes by assembling twenty-three original essays, written by scholars acknowledged as leaders in their respective fields. The volume demonstrates the continual and central presence of slavery in societies worldwide between 500 CE and 1420 CE. The essays analyze key concepts in the history of slavery, including gender, trade, empire, state formation and diplomacy, labor, childhood, social status and mobility, cultural attitudes, spectrums of dependency and coercion, and life histories of enslaved people.
