The Khazar Empire (ca. 650 - circa 965-969), one of the largest states of medieval Eurasia, extended from the Middle Volga lands in the north to the Northern Caucasus and Crimea in the south and from the Ukrainians steppelands to the western borders of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in the east. Turkic in origin, it played a key role in the history of the peoples of Rus’, medieval Hungary and the Caucasus. Khazaria became one of the great trans-Eurasian trading terminals connecting the northern forest zones with Byzantium and the Arabian Caliphate. In the ninth century, the Khazars converted to Judaism. This book sheds new light on many unanswered, but fundamental questions regarding the Khazar Empire, so important in medieval Eurasia.Handbuch der Orientalistik.Achte Abteilung,Handbook of Uralic studies ;v. 17.KhazarsHistoryCongressesKhazarsHistory947.5/201Golden Peter B638398Ben-Shammai Haggai1684722Rona-Tas Andras0Mekhon Ben-Tsevi le-heker kehilot Yisrael ba-Mizrah.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808539603321The world of the Khazars4056348UNINA
