Early Seljuk History: A New Interpretation

“Early Seljuk History: A New Interpretation”

It offers a new perspective on its origin. Perhaps the most important, but least understood, period of the Seljuks is their transformation into an Islamic empire, more than one tribe, living a nomadic life in the Western Eurasian steppes. 

Concentrating on this foundation period, Andrew CS Peacock reveals that the nomadic and steppe pasts of the Seljuks played a much more important role in this crucial process, by considering sources that have not been used much before (Georgian, Armenian, Arabic, Persian, etc.). . 

The Establishment of the Seljuk State, which also examines how the peoples living in the settled order in the Middle East were affected by these invasions and the first Turkish settlements that caused the demographic structure of the region to change permanently, sheds light on the history of the Middle East from a different perspective in this context.
