Ḥakīm Zajjājī’s Humāyūn-nāmah
The Mongol conquest of Iran (1220–1231) coincided with the “literarization of history” across the Islamic world. In Iran, this phenomenon was characterized by the production of verse histories, modeled on Firdaūsī’s Shāh-nāmah . Ḥakīm Zajjājī’s Humāyūn-nāmah is one of the lesser-known examples of this genre, with modern scholars disputing both the date of its composition and the historical value of its contents. The present article analyzes the p…
An ulus within an ulus
In 1206 Chinggis Khan replaced the warring factions of Mongolia with a single polity, the Great Mongol Realm (Yeke Mongqol Ulus). The ulus was ruled by a khan, who allocated pastures, households and revenues to his relatives as shares (qubi). Chinggis granted the first allocation to his brothers and senior sons in 1207 but many more redistributions took place in the coming decades. Many of these appanages grew so large that their holders challeng…
The story of Ghazan and Nawrūz
The fragmentation of the Ilkhanate (1258–1335) midway through the fourteenth century coincided with the publication of several verse histories that were based upon the Blessed History ( Tārīkh-i Mubārak ) of Rashīd al-Dīn Hamadānī (d. 1318). Seen by many as lacking originality, these texts have often been treated as a new form of literary expression rather than a source of information about key episodes in Ilkhanid history. While it may be true t…
The Tamma of Azerbaijan in Regional and Imperial Contexts (1228–1261)
Research on the Mongol conquest of Iran and the Transcaucasus has focused most heavily on the campaigns of Chinggis Khan and his nephew Hülegü, in 1219–1224 and 1256–1260 respectively. Significantly less attention has been given to the nearly four decades that separate these two invasions, during which Mongol control was consolidated by a tamma (garrison) army numbering roughly 30,000 soldiers. This garrison occupied a liminal position on the fro…
Marie Favereau, The Horde
The Jochid Ulus (1241-1556), popularly known as the Golden Horde, encompassed the territory and people between the Irtysh and Danube rivers and was one of the most durable and influential offshoots from the United Mongol Empire (r. 1206-1260). Its commercial, diplomatic, and political ties to the Byzantines, the Papacy, the Sultanate of Delhi, and the Mamluk Empire, not to mention its role in the rise of Muscovy, the Kazakh hordes, the Uzbeks and…
Matthieu Chochoy, De Tamerlan à Gengis Khan. Construction et déconstruction de l’idée d’empire tartare en France du xvie siècle à la fin du xviiie siècle
Recent research into the history of Central Asia has seen as a return to the primary sources and closer scrutiny applied to how knowledge has been produced and transmitted. These studies focus on the networks linking writers within a community of letters, but also how texts were used by subsequent generations to construct new narratives. The study of how and why knowledge was transmitted, and sometimes ignored, has caused modern historians to re-…
Beatrice Forbes Manz, Nomads in the Middle East
Nomadic herders of various shades have long been recognised for their contribution to Middle Eastern culture and are as ubiquitous in the Western imagination of the region as camels and caravanserais. These popular tropes bely many centuries of history in which nomads have shaped the linguistic, economic and political history of the region. This contribution is grudgingly acknowledged in the written histories, composed almost entirely by sedentar…

Matthieu Chochoy. De Tamerlan à Gengis Khan. Construction et déconstruction de l’idée d’empire tartare en France du XVIe siècle à la fin du XVIIIe siècle
This book examines the Tartar empire as a case study for the production and transmission of knowledge in 16th-18th century Europe. Beginning in the 1640s, Matthieu Chochoy follows the evolution of a French school of Orientalism focusing upon the Tartars, the nomadic people of the defunct Mongol empire. He shows that intellectual and social shifts inside France (such as the Enlightenment, the Scientific Revolution, and Colonialism) shaped knowledg…
Marie Favereau. The Horde
Marie Favereau’s new monograph, The Horde, provides a desperately needed survey of the Golden Horde (i.e. the Jochid Ulus, 1241-1556) that will serve as a valuable companion to researchers working on the history of Central Asia, the Mongol Empire, and World History at the end of the Global Middle Ages. Ruled by the descendants of Chinggis Khan’s eldest son, Jochi, the Golden Horde sat astride important trade and migration routes linking Europe, t…
The Mongol World
Drawing upon research carried out in several different languages and across a variety of disciplines, The Mongol World documents how Mongol rule shaped the trajectory of Eurasian history from Central Europe to the Korean Peninsula, from the thirteenth century to the fifteenth century. With 58 chapters written by both senior and early-career scholars, the volume is an essential resource for all students and scholars who study the Mongol Empire fro…
Making Mongol History
The Mongol Empire presents historians with a number of fascinating candidates for biographical research. There are numerous monographs on the life and career of Chinggis Khān, followed closely by his illustrious grandson Qubilai, yet there is no parallel biographical tradition for the Mongol successor state in the West, the Ilkhanate (1258–1335). Indeed, when we search for the figure who exerted the most influence over the history of the Ilkhanat…
The Political Configuration of Late Ilkhanid Iran
The disintegration of the Ilkhanate following the death of its last effective ruler, Abu Sa'id Bahadur Khan (d. 736/1335), precipitated the emergence of a number of regional dynasties, not least of all the Chubanids who claimed the former Mongolian core territories of Azerbaijan and Mughan in north-western Iran. Between 738/1337 and 758/1357, the Chubanids worked strenuously to reconstitute the Ilkhanid dispensation under their control. This peri…
Women in the Social, Political and Economic History of the Mongol Empire
The prominent role played by individual women in the political history of the Mongol Empire (1206–1388) has long garnered attention. Mongol queens (khatuns) in particular controlled vast herds and flocks, servants and slaves, as well as armies and the revenues necessary to support them. Medieval visitors to the Mongol Empire, such as Ibn Battuta and Marco Polo, remarked with astonishment on the ostentatious way that these women displayed their we…
Some Notes on Revenge and Justice in the Mongol Empire and the Īl-Khānate of Iran
This reflection on the social and political role of revenge in the Mongol empire, with a focus on the Īl-Khānate (1258–1335), uses revenge as a means of analyzing the relationship between the khān, his commanders, local officials, the ulema, and the subject population of the Īl-Khānate. It documents the limitations on royal authority and begins a new conversation about the way that juridical power was conceived and practiced in the thirteenth and…
Turkestan and the Rise of Eurasian Empires
The Pillars of State
By the beginning of the fourteenth century the court histories of the Īl-Khānate had begun to lament that ‘ qarachu ’ (non-royal) commanders dominated the realm. The same histories report that these qarachu were drawn from the families of the khans’ royal guardsmen ( kešik ). The fact that these kešik families had come to eclipse, and in some cases threaten, the power of their Chinggisid patrons suggests a much broader transformation of the Īl-Kh…
Conclusion
This chapter summarizes the key themes of the book and considers the implications of its conclusions. The main narrative of the work, that the internal dynamics of the Īlkhān court were characterized by a struggle between the collegial and patrimonial parties, is recapitulated here. It is also suggested that many of the ideas and institutions to have emerged as a result of the competition between these two groups were inherited by later Persian d…
Power, Politics, and Tradition in the Mongol Empire and the Ilkhanate of Iran
This study provides a new interpretation of how political authority was conceived and transmitted in the Early Mongol Empire (1227–59) and its successor state in Iran, the Īlkhānate (1258–1335). Authority within the Mongol Empire was intimately tied to the character of its founder, Chinggis Khan, whose reign served as an idealized model for the exercise of legitimate authority amongst his political successors. After Chinggis Khan's death in 1227 …
"The "Nawrūz King
In 688/1289 Nawrūz Aqa, a leading Mongol magnate, began a rebellion in Khurasan to resist the Ilkhan Arghun's attempts to centralize power and loosen the Mongol aristocracy's grip on provincial government. The rebellion of Nawrūz was significantly different from any Mongol uprising that had occurred in the Ilkhanate to that date: it was distinguished by the successful fusion of Chinggisid and Islamic traditions of political and spiritual authorit…
