Sholeh A. Quinn is Associate Professor of History at the University of California, Merced. She is the author of Historical Writing during the Reign of Shah 'Abbas: Ideology, Imitation, and Legitimacy in Safavid Chronicles (2000) and Shah Abbas: The King Who Refashioned Iran (2015). She coedited History and Historiography of Post-Mongol Central Asia and the Middle East: Studies in Honor of John E. Woods (2006).
'Sholeh Quinn has written a must-read book for anyone considering the historiographical connections within the early modern Persianate world and the texts circulating across the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires. She delineates a rich tradition of shared accounts about the benefits of history, bibliographies, dream narratives, and genealogies.' Rula Jurdi Abisaab, McGill University 'In this indispensable book, Sholeh Quinn teaches us to read a tradition of history writing central to our knowledge of early modern Persianate Asia. She illuminates common features, borrowings, innovations, and methods linking these texts. Persian Historiography across Empires redefines our vision of empires and dynasties and opens new pathways through history itself.' Mana Kia, Columbia University 'A superb study of the 16th and 17th century histories produced across the Ottoman, Safavid, Shaybanid and Mughal realms. Quinn deftly shows the period's chroniclers, writing in Persian, the region's lingua franca, navigating between the Timurid 'historiographical inheritance', each other's contributions and local politico-cultural discourses. After Historical Writing, another stunning contribution!' Andrew J Newman, University of Edinburgh
