Seljuqs and Their Successors: Art, Culture and History

A turning point in Islamic history and art history, the Seljuk age is still relatively understudied. In this substantive volume, Canby et al. gather together some of the best scholars in the field to present an integrated collection covering the history, polity, court ethos, architecture, and material culture of the Seljuks. Taken together, these essays enrich our understanding of the Seljuks and contextualize their legacy in relation to its wider Islamic setting and the trajectories of their various successor states.
