The Mamluk sultan Qānsūh al-Ghūrī used to preside over twice-weekly soirées. Various topics were discussed, but history was a favourite area of debate. On one occasion at least they discussed al-Rawd al-zāhir, a life of Baybars written in the 1260s and 70s by Ibn 'Abd al-Zāhir. Baybars' foiling of a Mongol expedition against Mecca and the sultan's investiture of an Abbasid caliph in Cairo were among the subjects debated by the sultan and his courtiers. Historical lore – tales of Alexander, Mahmūd of Ghazna, Timūr and Qāytbay – provided much of the conversation at the Mamluk court.
