This volume collects 24 papers on the medieval Turks by one of the world’s leading experts on medieval Islamic history. It covers themes such as nomadism, shamanism, clan and social structure, the role of women, military expertise, engagement with Islamic orthodoxy and the daily interface between Turks and non-Turks.
The present volume collects twenty-four essays and encyclopaedia entries on aspects of medieval Turkish history published between 1981 and 2023. It thus complements two other volumes of Carole Hillenbrand’s collected papers, [...] Classical Islam and Islam and the Crusades, which are testimony to her towering reputation as one of the leading historians of the medieval Islamic world. -- Andrew Peacock * Turcica *
