Klappentext

"This is undoubtedly a work of major importance. Sure to form the indispensable basis for future research, whether on the conversion of the Mongols or even on conversion more generally, Brack's persuasive work lies at the cutting edge of current scholarship on the accommodation of the Mongols of the faiths of those they ruled."--Peter Jackson, author of The Mongols and the Islamic World: From Conquest to Conversion

"Afterlife for the Khan is a scholarly work of the first importance that makes a major contribution to our understanding of Islam and Muslim kingship in the post-caliphal era. It is especially commendable for its interdisciplinarity. Brack reads deeply across Islamic and Inner Asian history, philosophy, art history, Sufism, and Buddhism."--A. Azfar Moin, author of The Millennial Sovereign: Sacred Kingship and Sainthood in Islam
