The Saljuqnama of Zahir Al-Din Nishapuri - A Critical Text Making Use of the Unique Manuscript in the Library of the Royal Asiatic Society

The Saljuqnama is a historical work written around AD 1188 for Tughril III, the last of the Saljuq dynasty to rule in Iran. Zahir al-Din Nishapuri hoped to win favour at the court by presenting his history of the great early Saljuq kings and their less powerful successors in Western Iran to the young Sultan.
