The Ghazi Sultans were frontier holy-warrior kings of late medieval
and early modern Islamic history. This book is a comparative study
of three particular Ghazis in the Muslim world at that time,
demonstrating the extent to which these men were influenced by the
actions and writings of their predecessors in shaping strategy and
the way in which they saw themselves. Using a broad range of
Persian, Arabic and Turkish texts, the author offers new findings
in the history of memory and self-fashioning, demonstrating thereby
the value of intertextual approaches to historical and literary
studies. The three main themes explored include the formation of
the ideal of the Ghazi king in the eleventh century, the imitation
thereof in fifteenth and early sixteenth century Anatolia and
India, and the process of transmission of the relevant texts. By
focusing on the philosophical questions of 'becoming' and
'modelling', Anooshahr has sought alternatives to historiographic
approaches that only find facts, ideology, and legitimization in
these texts. This book will be of interest to scholars specialising
in Medieval and early modern Islamic history, Islamic literature,
and the history of religion.
