Saunders. History of Medieval Islam. Study Guide
This account of the arrival of the Turks in the middle east is
different from that given by Lapidus--please note the differences, not in
detail, but in major points.
Terms/places/names -- check maps in Lapidus and those which I
handed out in class. Many of these places are in Iran and to
the north and north-east of Iran.
Where did the Turks come from, why and under what circumstances did
they arrive in the Middle East?
How did the Turks change the Islamic world?
- Alp Arlsan
- Sultanate of Rum
- Nizam al-Mulk
