Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the buildings of Emir Ashiqtumr who ruled the city of Aleppo five times during the Mamluk period. These buildings are his mosque, sabil, turbah, as well as their end-owments. Firstly, the paper provides a short biography of the founder based on the relevant historical sources and a discussion of the mosque’s names and dating. It also comprises a detailed descriptive study of the architectural units of the mosque with a discussion on some elements, such as the incomplete foundation inscription. The extensions of the Ottoman period are considered with a presentation of their effect on the original plan of the mosque. The paper concluded that the sabil was a separate-sabil at the time of construction, as supported by the archaeological evidence. It also included an arc-hitectural description of the demolished turbah and presented an imagined plan based on the statements of the historians. The end-owments of Ashiqtumr were considered with a presentation of their role in developing his buildings. Finally, an analytical study of the architectural elements of these buildings was carried out, and a comparison to parallel examples was made.
