Summary
The Mongol invasions of Iran and the collapse of the ʿAbbasid hegemony gave a great impetus to Persian historical writing in the late thirteenth century, expressed both in the patronage of the rulers and senior ministers of the court, and in the provincial centers on the peripheries of the Iranian plateau. After surveying the Persian histories of the Mongol invasions and early Ilkhanate, the chapter covers the rich literature that evolved following the conversion of the Mongols to Islam. The history of the period was also written by later authors, sometimes drawing on sources now lost, or consolidating the information provided by their predecessors but now presented with a new underlying narrative, with the benefit of looking back on the more distant past. The survey concludes with the work of some historians of the Timurid period, who narrate the history of the Ilkhanate in the longer perspective of Persian history.
