Persian Historiography across Empires
with Sholeh Quinn
The British Institute of Persian Studies (BIPS)

This presentation will discuss some of the main features of Persian historiography under the Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals. Early modern chroniclers engaged in a number of historiographical practices, including engaging with and modifying the earlier Timurid historiographical traditions, rewriting and repurposing their own narratives, blending genres, and continuing practices such as writing universal histories. By examining Persian chronicles across empires, it is possible to gain a better understanding of how these historiographical traditions crossed imperial boundaries and formed part of the Persianate world.

The talk will draw upon some of the main points in the author’s recent book, Persian Historiography across Empires: the Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals (Cambridge University Press, 2021)
