The Jews in Medieval Egypt under the Mamluks (1250–1517)

Overview
When Obadiah of Bertinoro, the famous commentator on the Mishnah, visited Cairo in February 1488, he mentioned that “the custom of the Jews is always to represent themselves as poor in the country of the Arabs; they go about as beggars, humbling themselves before the Arabs; they are not charitable towards one another.”¹ This and other gloomy observations by travelers who visited Egypt and the Holy Land at that time are usually quoted by modern historians in order to illustrate the severe deterioration in the situation of the Jews in Egypt towards the end of the Mamluk period.
