The first part is devoted to ?The memoria of the Mongols in historical and literary sources? in which she examines how the Mongol rulers were perceived by the peoples with whom they were in contact. In ?Shamanism and Islam? she studies the perception of shamanism by Muslim authors and their attempts to integrate Genghis Khan and his successors into an Islamic framework. The last sections deal with geopolitical questions involving the Ilkhans, the Mamluks, and the Latin West. Genghis Khan?s successors claimed the protection of ?Eternal Heaven? to justify their conquests even after their Islamization. 410 0$aIran studies ;$vVolume 11. 606 $aMongols$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aEthnohistory$zAsia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMongols$xHistory 615 0$aEthnohistory 676 $a950/.2 700 $aAigle$b Denise$0163772 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463363803321 996 $aThe Mongol Empire between myth and reality$91994313 997 $aUNINA
