"From their ancestral heartland by the shores of the Aral Sea, the medieval Oghuz
Turks marched westwards in search of dominion. Their conquests led to control of a
Muslim empire that united the territories of the Eastern Islamic world, melded Turkic
and Persian influences and transported Persian culture to Anatolia. In the eleventh
and twelfth centuries the new Turkic-Persian symbiosis that had earlier emerged under
the Samanids, Ghaznavids and Qarakha-nids came to fruition in a period that, under
the enlightened rule of the Seljuq dynasty, combined imperial grandeur with remarkable
artistic achievement. This latest volume in The Idea of Iran series focuses on a system
of government based on Turkic 'men of the sword' and Persian 'men of the pen' that
the Seljuqs (famous foes of the Crusader Frankish knights) consolidated in a form
that endured for centuries. The book further explores key topics relating to the innovative
Seljuq era, including: conflicted Sunni-Shi'a relations between the Sunni Seljuq Empire
and Ismaili Fatimid caliphate; architecture, art and culture; and politics and poetry.Istvan
Vasary looks back in Chapter 1 to the early history of the Turks in the wider Iranian
world, discussing the debates about the dating and distribution of the early Turkish
presence in Central Asia, Iran and Afghanistan."
