It begins with an overview of administrative history and historiography in the early Ilkhanate, culminating with Rashid al-Din's Blessed History of Ghazan, the indispensable source for Mongol and Ilkhanid history. Later chapters lay out the results of the most comprehensive study to date of the manuscripts of Rashid al-Din's historical writing. The complicated relationship between Rashid al-Din's historical and theological writings is also explored, as well as his appropriation of the work of his contemporary historian, 'Abd Allah Qashani."--Publisher OP - 310 CN - DS289 .K36 2019eb SN - 1474421431 SN - 9781474421447 SN - 147442144X SN - 9781474421430 SN - 1474421423 SN - 9781474421423 KW - Rashīd al-Dīn Ṭabīb, : 1247?-1318.
