This volume seeks to fill the gap in the historiography of premodern Islam and is conceived as a new standard scholarly resource for those interested in the Seljuk period.

A unique collaborative exploration of this pivotal yet understudied Muslim dynasty. What were the ideological foundations and ritual expressions of Seljuq power? How did the learned classes and the state feel about each other? How was social space organised? What was the relationship between nomads and settled peoples? Split into three parts, this collection of essays addresses questions like these about life during the Seljuq period. Part 1 follows the gradual transformation of the Seljuqs into a powerful dynasty and their concepts of political legitimisation. Part 2 examines social history, particularly with regard to the ''ulama'' and the urban populations. Part 3 explores how religious thought, jurisprudence, belles-lettres and architecture developed under the Seljuqs.
