A Letter from Iran to Celebrate the Reconquest of Jerusalem . The Khwārazm-Shāh’s tahniyat-nāma to Saladin, Copied in the inshāʾ Work Qiṣṣa-yi salāṭīn (Mid-13th Century)
The Qiṣṣa-yi salāṭīn , an inshāʾ collection compiled in the Sultanate of Rum in the mid-7th/13th century, places at its forefront a letter from the Khwārazm-Shāh Tekish to Saladin, congratulating him on the reconquest of Jerusalem in 583/1187. This is a rare example of a tahniyat-nāma found in an inshāʾ work that includes readily identifiable contextual elements. The text itself, composed in exceptionally complex Persian, is presented here in an …
A New Source on the Saljūqs of Rūm and their Persian Chancery
At the end of the twentieth century, the Ayatollah Marʿashī Najafī Library (Qum) acquired a fourteenth-century manuscript of munshaʾāt previously held in a private collection. This composite multitext manuscript contains about two hundred letters sent by or to officials of the Rūm Saljūq sultanate in the thirteenth century. The letters include official ( sulṭāniyyāt ) and private ( ikhwāniyyāt ) correspondence as well as decrees of nomination ( t…
Cities of Medieval Iran
Cities of Medieval Iran brings together studies in urban geography, archaeology, and history of medieval Iranian cities, spanning the Islamic period until ca. 1500, but also the pre-Islamic situation. The cities and their inhabitants take centre stage, they are not just the places where something else happened. Urban actors are given priority over external factors. The contributions take a long-term perspective and thus take the interaction betwe…
Khargāh and Other Terms for Tents in Firdawsī’s Shāh-nāmah
This article aims to contribute to the wider debate on the historicity of the Shāh-nāmah by focusing on the way Firdawsī uses the word khargāh . The word, which is first attested in Rūdakī poetry, has not been dealt with adequately in previous scholarship dedicated to the Shāh-nāmah . An analysis of all the occurrences in the text provides results consistent with those obtained from contemporary sources: the khargāh appeared in Central Asia (here…
Khargāh
The Persian term khargāh is first attested at the beginning of the fourth/tenth century. It has often been translated as "hut" or "pavilion", but a comprehensive overview of the historical, geographical and poetic sources points to a more precise definition. Three main conclusions can be established. First, from the beginning the term exclusively referred to the trellis tent (commonly known as yurt) first identified in a Turkic milieu in Inner As…
Pre-Mongol Khurasan. A Historical Introduction
The Battle of Qara-Tegin and the Rise of Azarbayjan
This article aims to show the limits of a dynastic approach to dealing with Iranian history during the sixth/twelfth century, when the Saljuq sultan in the West was only one of the actors on the chessboard, and not even the most powerful. It focuses on the events leading up to the great battle of Qara-Tegin near Hamadan in 542–1/1147. Various struggles passed over in the sources are highlighted through a macro-regional approach. The showdown at Q…
The Tents of the Saljuqs
This chapter aims to define as precisely as possible the various elements of Saljuq royal tentage as it appears in the sources. It emphasises the symbolic dimension of the tent in the Great Saljuq sultanate. The chapter seeks to establish to what extent the tent remained a key feature in the lifestyle of the Saljuqs generation after generation. The author argues that the tent remained the dwelling of the Saljuqs throughout the 156 years of their …
Ruling from the Outside
This chapter sets out to spatialise Turkish rule. It demonstrates the interest attaching to a spatial analysis of Saljuq kingship. The Saljuqs were the first Turkish dynasty of nomadic origins to rule Iran. The results provided in the chapter allow a better understanding of the relationship between the king and his subjects. The ethnic distinction (Iranian elites/Turkish rulers) overlaps a very deep spatial divide. Once it is clear that they did …
Turko-Mongol Rulers, Cities and City Life
For nearly a millennium, a large part of Asia was ruled by Turkic or Mongol dynasties of nomadic origin.

Turko-Mongol Rulers, Cities and City-life aims to broaden the perspective on the issue of location of rule in this particular context by bringing toget…
