Abstract
The Mamluk victory at ʿAyn Ǧālūt on 25 Ramaḍān 658/3 September 1260 is certainly one of the most famous events in the history of the Mamluk‑Ilkhanid war. It has been the subject of numerous works and fueled a rich debate among scholars. Although the facts overall are fairly well‑known, there remain several grey areas and some important questions are still unanswered. By comparing Arabic, Latin, Armenian, Persian and Syriac chronicles, this article attempts to shed light on various questions concerning the battle of ʿAyn Ǧālūt and the events that led up to it. It will thus be possible to take a new look at one of the most important battles in history.
