About this book

The Legacy of Genghis Khan: Courtly Art and Culture in Western Asia, 1256-1353 by Komaroff, Linda. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780300096910.

In the thirteenth century, under the leadership of Genghis Khan, nomadic horsemen burst out of Mongolia and began their sweep across Asia. During the century they ruled Iran--the period of the Ilkhanid dynasty (1256-1353)--the Mongols adopted Islam and sponsored a brilliant cultural flowering. This splendid volume features some two hundred extraordinary objects in color. Essays by eight eminent scholars provide the historical and political background.
