The Edinburgh History of the Islamic Empires Series Editor: Ian Richard Netton This major series covers the history of the Islamic world, from its origins in the 7th century to the fall of the last of the great Islamic empires, the Ottoman Empire, in the early 20th century. Combining scholarship, reliability and readability, books in the series reflect the fluctuating dynamics of change and present an overall unity to the history of the Empires. 'An elegantly and entertainingly written, painstakingly researched work that fills a glaring lacuna in the scholarly literature. Peacock's book is, quite simply, the first ever to cover the entire Seljuq period, and the only available comprehensive overview of this critical era. It will no doubt become a standard work in the field.' Professor Deborah G. Tor, University of Notre Dame The Great Seljuk Empire was the Turkish state which dominated the Middle East and Central Asia in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. This book surveys that period, which was one of exceptional importance, witnessing profound demographic, religious, political and social changes in the Islamic Middle East. The Turkish invasions played a role in provoking the Crusades, led to the collapse of Byzantine power in Anatolia and brought about the beginnings of Turkish settlement in what is now Turkey and Iran, permanently altering their ethnic and linguistic composition.
