Politics, Patronage and the Transmission of Knowledge in 13th - 15th Century Tabriz de Judith Pfeiffer

Politics, Patronage and the Transmission of Knowledge in 13th - 15th Century Tabriz: Iran Studies, cartea 8

Editat de Judith Pfeiffer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 noi 2013
In Politics, Patronage and the Transmission of Knowledge in 13th – 15th Century Tabriz, an international group of specialists from different disciplines investigate the role of Tabriz as one of the foremost centres of learning, cultural productivity, and politics in post-Mongol Iran and the Middle East. While standard accounts of Islamicate history have long presented the 13th to 15th centuries as the bottom of the decline paradigm of old, the present volume demonstrates the vibrancy and originality of the intellectual and cultural production of this period by focusing on Tabriz among other capitals of the region. The volume particularly explores the transmission of knowledge and institutional and cultural patronage in the post-Mongol period.

Contributors include Reuven Amitai, Nourane Ben Azzouna, Sheila Blair, Devin DeWeese, Joachim Gierlichs, Birgitt Hoffmann, Domenico Ingenito, Robert Morrison, Ertuğrul Ökten, Judith Pfeiffer, Johannes Preiser-Kapeller, F. Jamil Ragep, and Patrick Wing.

Recenzii

"The volume does not attempt to cover all aspects of intellectual activity in Tabriz in this period, a task which would be impossible to accomplish in a single volume. However, it fulfils expectations by contributing to a better understanding of the political, economic and intellectual life of Tabriz from
the arrival of the Chinggissid rulers to Iran in the mid thirteenth century until the region became a disputed zone after the consolidation of the Ottoman and Safavid Empires in the sixteenth century."
Bruno de Nicola in Bulletin critique des Annales islamologiques, 29, 2014.
