building of this porch by Bibars. The minaret of the mosque at Yebna, the tomb known as the Kebekieh in the Mamilla Cemetery outside Jerusalem, and the north-west minaret of the Haram al-Sherif in Jerusalem are among the many Moslem buildings in which Frank materials are found. One of the capitals that adorn the north-east minaret referred to is carved with a representation of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple. The Frank shrine from which it, with its column, came was not destroyed. Evidently some only of the columns and capitals were needed. The rest of the shrine was spared and still stands.
Among the other notable buildings of the Bahrite Mamelukes the following must be mentioned. At Ramleh there is a tower which was the minaret and is the only part left standing of a great mosque. It dates from the first quarter of the fourteenth century, and illustrates very well the conditions of that time: on the north and west sides of the Haram al-Sherif are, amongst others, the madrasas known as the Khatunieh (1354), the Asardieh (1359), the Manjaqieh (1360), and the Malikieh; all these are fine examples, though sadly neglected, of the work of their time. In the Tariq Bab al-Silsileh are the madrasa al-Taziya (1329), the madrasa Tashtamurieh (1382) and, near the Bab al-Silsileh, the madrasa al-Tanqizieh (1329), with a very fine entrance porch. In the Tariq Bab al-Hadid, just outside the Haram, is the madrasa Arghunieh (1357). This college contains the tomb of its founder. Of this tomb the dome has lately fallen through neglect. In general the whole of this exceptionally fine but deserted college is in urgent need of attention.
The Burjite Mamelukes of Egypt, who succeeded the Bahrites, ruled Palestine from 1390 to 1516. Among the works of that time may be mentioned the great palace of the Lady Tonsoq al-Muzaffar. This palace is in the street known as Aqabet al-Sitt. The façade of this magnificent building stretches up the side of most of this street. Opposite the palace is the lady's tomb. The palace is certainly one of the most remarkable Moslem buildings in Jerusalem.
