4:45a	Seljuq Iran: A return to borders it hadn't seen since the fall of the Sassanians nearly 400 years prior (Sahab Series of Historical Maps, 1970) Full zoomable map found here: Historical map of Iran under the Seljuqs / published by Sahab Geographic & Drafting Ins. - American Geographical Society Library Digital Map Collection - UWM Libraries Digital Collections Of note, this was the first time since the Sassanians that a unified Iranian plateau had a ruler that used the Persian title Shahanshah King of Kings. The Buyids prior had also used the title, but the Iranian plateau was never fully unified under them. --- The Seljuk Empire, or the Great Seljuk Empire,\14])\a]) was a high medieval, culturally Turco-Persian, Sunni Muslim empire, established and ruled by the Qïnïq) branch of Oghuz Turks.\17])\18]) The empire spanned a total area of 3.9 million square kilometres (1.5 million square miles) from Anatolia and the Levant in the west to the Hindu Kush in the east, and from Central Asia in the north to the Persian Gulf in the south, and it spanned the time period 1037–1308, though Seljuk rule beyond the Anatolian peninsula ended in 1194. During the formative phase of the empire, the Seljuks first advanced from their original homelands near the Aral Sea into Khorasan and then into the Iranian mainland, where they would become largely based as a Persianate society. They then moved west to conquer Baghdad, filling up the power vacuum that had been caused by struggles between the Arab Abbasid Caliphate and the Iranian Buyid Empire. Much of the ideological character of the Seljuk Empire was derived from the earlier Samanid and Ghaznavid kingdoms, which had in turn emerged from the Perso-Islamic imperial system of the Abbasid caliphate.\70]) This Perso-Islamic tradition was based on pre-Islamic Iranian ideas of kingship molded into an Islamic framework. Little of the public symbolism used by the Seljuks was Turkic, namely the tughra.\71]) The populace of the Seljuk Empire would have considered this Perso-Islamic tradition more significant than that of steppe customs.\72]) Highly Persianized\74]) in culture\75]) and language,\76]) the Seljuks also played an important role in the development of the Turko-Persian tradition,\77]) even exporting Persian culture to Anatolia.\b])\79])\80]) Under the Seljuks, Persian was also used for books lecturing about politics in the mirrors for princes genre, such as the prominent Siyasatnama (Book of Politics) composed by Nizam al-Mulk.\81]) During this period, these types of books consciously made use of Islamic and Iranian traditions, such as an ideal government based on the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his successors, or the Sasanian King of Kings Khosrow I (r. 531–579).\70]) In most of their coins, the Seljuk sultans used the Sasanian title of shahanshah (King of Kings), and even used the old Buyid title of "Shahanshah of Islam."\83]) The title of malik was used by lesser princes of the Seljuk family.\84]) Like the caliphate, the Seljuks relied on a refined Persian bureaucracy.\85]) The last Seljuk sultan Tughril III was well known for his Persian poetry.\87]) The Saljuq-nama of Zahir al-Din Nishapuri, which was most likely dedicated to Tughril III, indicates that the Seljuk family now used Persian to communicate, and even were taught about the achievements of their forefathers in that language.\88]) submitted by /u/drhuggables [link] [comments]
