Encyclopedia of Egyptian Biography, by al Maqrizi (766-875 AH/1364-1442 CE), the Egyptian historian.

Although al Maqrizi was a Mamluk era historian and himself a Sunni, he is remarkable in this context for his unusually keen interest in the Ismaili Fatimid dynasty and its role in Egyptian history.
