Abstract :
A great amount of historical, geographical and literary knowledge of Islamic Egypt has been assembled in the works written in the genre of Khital. This genre of historiography in Egypt which was begun by Ibn ‘Abd il- Hakam , was raised to its summit by Makrizi and began to wane in Ali Pasha Mubarak. In this article, in three parts - Khitatnigari before Makrizi´s Khitat and Khitatnigari after Makrizi – We introduce the books on Khitat and study the status of Khitatnigari in the historiography of Islamic Egypt.
