Introduction
- As regards the Fatimid period, corresponding to the Fatimid Islamic Caliphate in Egypt, Kahle, in collaboration with Kurt Röder, conducted study of the “treasures” of the Fatimids and published an article titled "Die Schätze der Fatimiden" (1935): the article concerns a few passages from «Ḫiṭaṭ» by the historian al-Maqrīzī (d. 1442) who reported that the Fatimid caliph al-Mustanṣir (reg. 1036-1094) possessed entire rooms full of porcelain. The sub-sub-series contains a few materials relating to the various phases of the work.
