Since the 19th century, narratives about social history began to take more place in history books. This style of approach, which Western historians attribute to Europe and especially France, was present in the rich historical accumulation of the Islāmic world from very early periods. During the Mamlūks (648-923 / 1250-1517) period, which can be described as the “golden age” for Islāmic historiography, historians also exhibited rare examples of this accumulation in their works. As a matter of fact, Mamlūk historians have done social historiography to an extent approaching the present day, both with the variety of historical works in terms of genre and with the narratives covering almost every area of social life that they included in their chronicles. So much so that even special titles such as “al-ʿad̲j̲āʾib wa’l-g̲h̲arāʾib” were used about social historiography during the Mamlūks period. Historians of the period, who had a wide readership, tried to make their works even more attractive with colorful and interesting stories. In this study, such a colorful and interesting story of the Mamlūk period was chosen as an example, and acrobatics performances that occured in 829 (1426) and received great interest in society were discussed. The study examines in detail the narrations of five historians of the period on the subject. Thus, not only a different and social story related to Mamlūk history was brought to attention, but also this aspect of Mamlūk historiography was revealed through an example. In addition to these, the fact that these historians, who are from different sections of society, have taken such a topic related to entertainment life into their works has been evaluated from the point of view of the historiography of the period. In the study, where the subject is discussed under two chapters, first, brief information was given about the historians who conveyed this story in order to understand their approach styles, then the story of acrobatics was handled through sources and various assessments were made in terms of historiography. In doing so, additions and details that complement each other and are not in one another have been presented as a technical issue to the attention of researchers studying the Mamlūk period.
