Opis

Nishapuri flourished in the 12th century and wrote a succinct history in Persian of the Saljuq Turks, a tribal group from Central Asia who in the 11th century established a vast empire, enduring for some century and a half and bringing about lasting changes to the ethnic composition and the patterns of land utilisation in the northern tier of the Middle East.

During the twelfth century Zahir al-Din Nishapuri wrote a succinct history in Persian of the tribal group the Seljuq Turks. This annotated translation of Nishapuri's Seljuq-nama introduces a new series of translated historical texts.
