Les contributions r unies par Benjamin Lellouch et Nicolas Michel s'attachent mesurer les transformations structurelles qu'a induites l' v nement dans la soci t , les pouvoirs, la culture litt raire, artistique et mat rielle en gypte. Elles explorent ses ant c dents et son impact g opolitique, et restituent les chos, bruyants puis assourdis, qu'il a suscit s, au Proche-Orient, en Italie, et plus g n ralement en M diterran e.

Conqu te ottomane de l' gypte (1517) is the first collective work that deals with Selīm Ist's crushing victory over the Mamluks, which made the Ottoman sultanate into the sole remaining Muslim power in the eastern Mediterranean, and reduced Egypt to the rank of a province. The book offers new insights into this major event by using a wide range of Ottoman and Arabic as well as Western sources.
These essays in French and English collected by Benjamin Lellouch and Nicolas Michel examine to what extent the Ottoman conquest altered the structures of Egyptian society, power relations, literature, arts and material culture. They explore both its backgrounds and geopolitical aftermath, and reconstruct its echoes - loud at first, then gradually fading out - in the Middle East, Italy, and the Mediterranean.
