Daniel Martin Varisco

Daniel Varisco is completing a monograph on agriculture in Ayyubid and Rasulid Yemen (thirteenth–fifteenth centuries C.E.). The Rasulid era in Yemen coincides with the early Mamluk period in Egypt, although it has received far less attention from historians. This project will provide comprehensive documentation of the information available in a wide range of Rasulid-era sources on Yemen’s agricultural systems.
