Overview
Al-Maqrizi's third and last term as muhtasib of Cairo fell in 807, each appointment lasting only a few months. It closed the chapter of his mixed administrative and scholarly career — deputy judgeship, preaching, imamate, hadith teaching — before his move to Syria led him to abandon public office for history 1.
