Rashid al-Din - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rashid al-Din was born into a Jewish family and converted to Islam sometime around the age of 30. Rashid al-Din had access to information from a now-lost Mongol chronicle for the period of Genghis Khan, and historians find by comparison with material that survives in Chinese sources that he made good use of the source. The administration of the state (during 0ljeitu's reign) had become almost a private monopoly of his family: of his fourteen sons, eight were governors of provinces, including the whole of western Iran, Georgia, Iraq, and the greater part of what is now Turkey. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rashid_al-Din   (444 words)

Saudi Aramco World : A History of the World Rashid al-Din was the first historian to conceive of history on a global basis, as a subject transcending national or religious boundaries. As a result, Rashid al-Din was able to construct two more suburbs, one outside the new capital of Sultaniyya, named after its builder "Rashidiyya," and the other east of Tabriz, both financed with the enormous sums Uljeitu lavished upon him, sums never before received by any minister from his sovereign. Uljeitu was so pleased with it that he encouraged Rashid al-Din to supplement it with two more volumes: one on the history of all the peoples with whom the Mongols had fought or with whom they had exchanged embassies, and a third on historical geography. www.saudiaramcoworld.com /issue/198101/a.history.of.the.world.htm   (2932 words)

morgan1.html Rashid al-Din's account of the nature of Mongol rule under Ghazan's (infidel) predecessors is an unflattering one, and it may well in large part be accurate. For Rashid al-Din, the rise of the Mongol Empire, of which he was the chronicler, was of momentous importance. Rashid al-Din is, then, a singularly untypical Persian historian but typical enough in his attitude toward the Franks. coursesa.matrix.msu.edu /~fisher/hst372/readings/morgan1.html   (5683 words)

The Alleged Role of Nasir al Din al Tusi in the Fall of Baghdad, Rasul Jafariyan Before quoting Rashid al-Din, it is worthwhile to mention that since the `Abbasids had been favourably treated by the times, the idea had become popular - and they themselves also propagated it - that they were invincible, that no one was capable of bringing about their downfall. Shirin Bayani, Din wa dawlat dar Iran-a 'ahd-a Moghol, Markaz-a Nashr-e Dinishgihi, Tehran 1367, pp. As pointed out by Dr. Shaybi, "In the episode of the sack of Baghdad, although it was a consequence of the general assault of the Mongols that overthrew the regimes that came in their way from Turkistan to Iraq, the Shi`is came to be blamed for it due to an age-old Sunni-Shi'i hostility."
