It is therefore something of a paradox that the history of Turkey and aspects of the identity and role of the Turks, both as Muslims and as an ethnic group, still remain little known in the west and undervalued in the Arabic and Persian-speaking worlds. This book contributes to historical scholarship on Turkey by focusing on its key foundational myth, the battle of Manzikert in 1071 ? the Turkish equivalent of the battle of Hastings. Manzikert destroyed the hold of Christian Byzantium on eastern Turkey and opened the whole country to the spread of Islam, a process completed with the fall of Constantinople and Trebizond some four centuries later. Translations and a close analysis of all the extant Muslim sources ? both Arabic and Persian ? which deal with the battle of Manzikert are provided in the book. It also looks at these writings as literary works and vehicles of religious ideology and analyses the ongoing confrontation between the Muslim Turks and Christian Europe and the importance of Manzikert in the formation of the modern state of Turkey since 1923. 517 3 $aTurkish Myth & Muslim Symbol 606 $aManzikert, Battle of, Turkey, 1071 615 0$aManzikert, Battle of, Turkey, 1071. 676 $a956.1013 700 $aHillenbrand$b Carole$0749115 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452354903321 996 $aTurkish myth and Muslim symbol$92480727 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00811nam a2200241 i 4500 001 991000476319707536 008 091203s2009 it 000 0 eng d 020 $a9788883536939 035 $ab13863010-39ule_inst 040 $aDip.to SSC$bita 082 04$a391 100 1 $aCalefato, Patrizia$0184789 245 14$aGli intramontabili :$bmode, persone, oggetti che restano /$cPatrizia Calefano 260 $aRoma :$bMelteni,$c2009 300 $a190 p. ;$c19 cm 440 0$aMelusine ;$v89 650 4$aModa 907 $a.b13863010$b11-01-10$c03-12-09 912 $a991000476319707536 945 $aLE021 SOC26A84$g1$i2021000158025$lle021$o-$pE18.00$q-$rl$s- $t0$u2$v0$w2$x0$y.i15051195$z18-12-09 996 $aIntramontabili$9231360 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale021$b03-12-09$cm$da $e-$fita$git $h4$i0
