In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries Chinggis Khan and his progeny ruled over two-thirds of Eurasia. Connecting East, West, North and South, the Mongols integrated most of the Old World, promoting unprecedented cross-cultural contacts and triggering the reshuffle of religious, ethnic, and geopolitical identities. The Cambridge History of the Mongol Empire studies the Empire holistically in its full Eurasian context, putting the Mongols and their nomadic culture at the center. Written by an international team of more than forty leading scholars, this two-volume set provides an authoritative and multifaceted history of 'the Mongol Moment' (1206–1368) in world history and includes an unprecedented survey of the various sources for its study, textual (written in sisteen languages), archaeological, and visual. This groundbreaking Cambridge History sets a new standard for future study of the Empire. It will serve as the fundamental reference work for those interested in Mongol, Eurasian, and world history.
Read more- Provides a comprehensive history of the Mongol Empire, from four angles: political history; thematic history; regional histories and external histories (i.e. the Empire's impact on regions outside its control)
- Provides an indispensable infrastructure for students and scholars studying different sources (literary, archaeological, and visual) of the Mongol Empire
- Combines insights of more than 40 leading scholars from more than a dozen countries in both East and West
Reviews & endorsements
'Scholars and students of the Mongols will find this set an invaluable aid in their research and teaching because for the first time scholarship on virtually every area and group enveloped in the Mongol Empire, as well as parts of the world that touched but were never conquered by the Mongols - e.g., Europe, the Arab Middle East, and South Asia - is collected under one cover. … Highly recommended.' M. C. Brose, Choice
