Klappentext

"What were the effects of Mongol rule in Iran? Using a wide variety of sources including official and semi-official historiography; non-official historiography; local sources and geographical and biographical works, this book examines Ilkhanid rule in Fars from a local perspective. Charting the fortunes of successive rulers, her research shows that the failings of individual rulers, as well as intriguing by Persian notables, were the principal reasons for Shiraz and Fars's economic decline under the Mongols in comparison with the more successful neighbouring province of Kerman.
