Covering the eleven-year reign of Sultan Mas'ud I, son of the empire's founder Mahmud of Ghazna, the work narrates the rapid rise and near-collapse of a state that at its height stretched from Kashmir to Persian Iraq and from Khwarezm to the Indus, undone within decades by internal strife and the rising power of the Seljuk Turks. Prized equally as a historical source and as a masterwork of classical Persian prose, Bayhaqi's chronicle is an essential witness to the political, administrative, and cultural life of eleventh-century Khorasan and Transoxiana, encompassing the careers of contemporaries such as Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and al-Biruni and the poets of Sultan Mahmud's and Mas'ud's courts. This edition, translated and annotated by the Orientalist A. K. Arends and issued by the Beruni Institute of Oriental Studies, was the first Russian translation of the text and remains a standard scholarly reference for historians of the Ghaznavid and Seljuk periods, Persian literature, and the medieval history of Central Asia and the Iranian world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44524622020650,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_5741.jpg?v=1782897633","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/abu-al-fadl-bayhaqi-the-history-of-masud-1030-1041-tarikh-i-masudi-istoriya-masuda-1962-first-russian-translation","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
