Description

This academic volume from Liverpool University Press provides essential translated texts for historians studying the transmission of the Iranian past. The book focuses on pre-Islamic Persia through the lens of three significant Muslim Arabic chronicles. It features the works of Ahmad al-Ya'qubi (d. ca. 910), 'Ali al-Mas'udi (d. ca. 960), and Hamza al-Isfahani (d. ca. 960s). These accounts draw from texts composed between 750-850 titled 'The History of the Kings of the Persians'. The collection explores how these historical narratives served a growing audience of Muslim bureaucrats and scholars of Persian ancestry who sought to integrate their heritage into the historical outlook of the new civilization. This work is a valuable resource for those researching historiography and the transition from Late Antiquity to Early Islam.
