The content and analysis of al Maqrizi's "İğâsetü'l-Ümme bi Keşfi'l-Ğumme"

The medieval period is a dynamic and rapid period in terms of the development of Islamic history. The Middle East and the North African region, experienced rapid development in social, political and cultural areas, when we first saw this movement in Baghdad, the center of the Abbasid state. This turned over to Cairo, the center of history and science schools, at that time, Al- Makrîzî who was in Cairo, was among the historical schools that shined in that period and whose works came up to date. Certainly Al- Makrîzî left works describing history and various aspects of life, but there is such a work among these works that al-Makrīzî described the socio-economic aspects of Egypt's history from pre-Islamic times until the time of his return (H. 808) this work is the thesis we are working on titeled "İğâsetü'l-Ümmebi-Keşfi'l-Ğumme". This work is more than a transcendental historical work, a critically constructive work. In fact, al- Makrîzî bases the hunger and economic crises on logical conclusions, criticizes the politics that are followed seriously when it comes to the place, and gives examples on the previous ones. It is a great chance to reach such a work, which examines the socio-economic direction of Egyptian history and the hunger history, in good manner and it is a responsibility to fall upon us at the same time, to evaluate it as the researchers.
