Damascus anecdotes is devoted to (mostly) Mamluk and Ottoman historical sources: chronicles, biographies, topographies, as well as to the objects containing them, namely manuscripts.
Damascus Anecdotes is a product of my research projects. It provides short descriptions of primary works (and the manuscripts we have of them), biographical sketches, and finds in the archives.
Most of all, Damascus Anecdotes shall be about the joy of reading these materials and the treasure hunt that leads me to them.
All too often, exciting finds have to be discarded in publications for sake of the argument. Here they shall receive their due place.
