Blurb

"While genealogical sources have received attention in scholarship on the Arab world, it remains mostly unstudied in Persianate societies. The chapters in this book offer reflections on theoretical and methodological issues concerning the study of genealogical documentation, combined with case studies based on previously unpublished, unstudied source materials. The topics explored span the full breadth of the Persianate world, from Anatolia to the Ferghana Valley in Central Asia to the Gujarat region of India, utilizing sources dating from the fourteenth to the twentieth century. The book demonstrates the value of genealogical documentation as historical sources for scholars and students of Islamic history and the Persianate ecumene and beyond"-- Provided by publisher.
