Abstract

of the Mongol period. Elsewhere, Aubin draws on the Safwat al-Safa to explore the process of Turkicization in Mongol Azerbaijan and the role of a prominent Sufi of the period, in political and economic life in the province. The final section addresses "Acculturation, political problems and social movements", and again focuses on the Ilkhanid period and its aftermath, dealing with the Mongol tribal group the Qaraunus on the Indian frontier, the collapse of the Ilkhanate, and the Sarbadar movement that replaced the Ilkhans in Khurasan. Uniting these studies in a single volume is a useful service to historians of medieval Iran, and one can only hope for a future volume that will republish Aubin's important articles on later periods of Iranian history.
