Translating a collection of the most important descriptions of the
Turks found in medieval Arabic texts into English, this book aims
at delineating the coming of the Turkic people in the eleventh
century, their military successes in Iran and Iraq, and the
emergence of the sultanate. The book introduces the reader to the
history of the Islamic Caliphate and the Turkic people. This
introduction is followed by annotated translated sources which
illuminate; the view of the Eurasian steppes in Muslim-Arabic
geographical writing from the pre-Saljuq period, the self-image and
ideology of the victorious Saljuqs and their fundamental claim to
legitimacy, and the conventional narrative of the coming of the
Saljuqs in later Arabic historiography. Illustrating the variety of
sources available on the history of Turkic tribes in the Eurasian
steppes and in central Islamic lands, ranging from geographical
writing, to chronicles, to mythological legends, this book will be
an essential resource for students and scholars with an interest in
Turks and image, History, and Middle East Studies.
