Description
Book SynopsisAs the title implies, New Approaches to Ilkhanid History explores new methodologies and avenues of research for the Mongol state in the Middle East. Although the majority of the Ilkhanate was situated in Iran, this volume considers other regions within the state and moves away from focusing on the center and the Ilkhanid court. New consideration is given to the source material, particularly how they have been composed, but also how the sources can inform on the provinces of the Ilkhanate. Several authors also examine lower-tier personages, groups, and institutions. Contributors include: A.C.S. Peacock; Kazuhiko Shiraiwa; Christopher P. Atwood; Stefan Kamola; Qiu Yihao; Koichi Matsuda; Judith Kolbas; Reuven Amitai; Na'ama O. Arom; Timothy May; Michael Hope; Pier Giorgio Borbone; Dashdondog Bayarsaikhan; Dmitri Korobeinikov.
Trade Review"Au-delà de ce défaut, New Approaches to Ilkhanid History est un ouvrage utile, contenant plusieurs études importantes, et qui suggère efficacement des directions et outils d’investigation futurs (11). Il s’inscrira, sans aucun doute, à la longue liste des ouvrages collectifs portant sur l’histoire de l’Empire mongol ou celle de l’Ilkhanat, forme privilégiée dans un champ d’étude particulièrement vaste et éclaté (12)." – Jan Jelinowski, Académie Polonaise des Sciences et Université de Strasbourg, in BCAI 36 (2022).
