Produktbeschreibung

The period of Middle Eastern history between the collapse of the Mongol llkhanate in 1335 and the rise of Timur (Tamerlane) at the end of the 14th century is commonly seen as a time of political breakdown and disorder. This book helps to make sense of this confusing period by tracing continuities through the history of the Jalayirid tribe.
