About the Book

This book examines the life and work of Rashid al-Din Tabib (d. 1318), the most powerful statesman working for the Mongol Ilkhans in the Middle East. It begins with an overview of administrative history and historiography in the early Ilkhanate, culminating with Rashid al-Din's Blessed History of Ghazan, the indispensable source for Mongol and Ilkhanid history. Later chapters lay out the results of the most comprehensive study to date of the manuscripts of Rashid al-Din's historical writing. The complicated relationship between Rashid al-Din's historical and theological writings is also explored, as well as his appropriation of the work of his contemporary historian, `Abd Allah Qashani.

About the Author :
Stefan Kamola (BA Oberlin College, MA/PhD Washington) is a post-doctoral research fellow at the Institute of Iranian Studies in Vienna, pursuing a project on Ilkhanid historiography funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FwF M-3187). His previous research and first book focused on the Jāmiʿ al-Tawārīkh of Rashīd al-Dīn Ṭabīb (d. 1318). Recently, his scholarship has turned towards the practice of astrology in the Seljuk and Mongol periods.

Review :
For anyone using Rashid al-Din – and that means pretty much anyone working on the thirteenth and fourteenth century Iranians, Turks, or Mongols – Making Mongol History is simply a must-have. Kamola’s work supersedes all previous work on the manuscript history of the Jami‘ al-Tawarikh. His new classification of the manu-scripts into recensions will be the framework for all future study of the text. His teasing out of how the Jami‘ al-Tawarikh "bleeds" into and in turn is "bled into" by works from many other authors is a vital reminder of the gap between the conceptions of "work" and "authorship" in manuscript cultures and print cultures. His synthesis of manuscript history with intellectual history is a bravura demonstration of the continuing significance of philology for understanding the human past. The core of this impressive study of Rashid al-Din’s oeuvre is the minute analysis of the manuscript witnesses of his celebrated ‘world history’ and the stages through which the author’s writing of history and sense of himself evolved, requiring a radical revision of most previous studies of Mongol-era historiography.
