The first textbook introduction to the history of the Great Seljuk
Islamic Empire to be published in English. The Great Seljuk Empire
was the Turkish state which dominated the Middle East and Central
Asia in the 11th and 12th centuries. This book surveys that period,
which was one of exceptional importance, witnessing profound
demographic, religious, political and social changes in the Islamic
Middle East. The Turkish invasions played a role in provoking the
Crusades, led to the collapse of Byzantine power in Anatolia and
brought about the beginnings of Turkish settlement in what is now
Turkey and Iran, permanently altering their ethnic and linguistic
composition. The first book in a western language to offer an
overview of this major Islamic empire; It provides a narrative
history and a thematic analysis of the empire's institutions and
aspects of life in the Seljuk world; examines the political,
administrative, military, religious, economic and social
organisation of the Great Seljuk Empire using a wide variety of
historical and literary sources; draws on the evidence of
archaeology and material culture; Illustrated with images, maps,
charts and family trees and text boxes introduce key themes and
institutions.
