I'd love to know your feedback.

Anyway, I was wondering if you could also add my forum called The Nile Valley to your blog links:

Here is my forum:

Here are some suggestions that you might consider translating and relevant to Medieval Egypt:

Mohammad ibn Mohammad ibn Hamid al-Maraghi al-Jirjawi Nour al iyoon fi zikri Jirja min aahdi thalathati ghiroun

another text is by a Coptic patriarch that also details alot about the Medieval period:

Ta'rikh batarikat al-Kanisah al-Misriyah was edited and translated into English by B.T.A. Evetts under the title History of the Patriarchs of the Coptic Church of Alexandriab by Anba Sawiris Ibn El-Moqafa'a

Then you have the medieval Cairene historian named al-Maqrizi who wrote Khitat or Al-Mawa?iz wa?lI?tibar fi Dhikr al-Khitat

Any of those publications wil do for translation.

Perhaps the one by al-Maqrizi would be fine. However, I was unable to get the name of the book you mentioned by al-Jirjawi, I was unable to read the transliteration. "Nour al iyoon fi zikri " was all I understood, but the words "Jirja" and "ghiroun" I was unable to decypher and understand their Arabic equavalents.
