Abstract

Through adopting a comparative approach, this article examines the instructions the late medieval rulers of the Crown of Aragon, Florence and Venice gave to their envoys sent to the Mamluk Sultanate (Egypt-Syria, 1250-1517). These sources vividly show that the interactions between the Christian emissaries and the sultan and his entourage followed different phases and relied on various forms of communication, both verbal (spoken and written messages) and non-verbal (exchange of gifts, ceremonial). The practical and theoretical analysis of these ambassadorial instructions shows the different sets of rules and strategies underlying diplomatic dialogue between Christian powers and the Mamluks.
