 : The Persian and Persianate Documents from al-Haram al-Sharif in Jerusale
 m (13th - 14th centuries)The Elahé Omidyar Mir-Djalali Institute of Irania
 n Studies, University of Toronto, and the Invisible East Programme, the
  Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Oxford jointl
 y present a monthly virtual seminar series on Rethinking History: Returnin
 g to Archives and Documents on Thursday, April 11, 2024, a 12 pm (Toron
 to) / 5 pm (UK). Abstract: The corpus of over 900 legal and administrative
  documents from al-Haram al-Sharif (Temple Mount) in Jerusalem is of outst
 anding importance for understanding the history of pre-Ottoman Asia. Most 
 of these documents are in Arabic and were produced in fourteenth century M
 amluk Jerusalem. An intriguing sub-corpus of 78 multilingual and multiscri
 ptual documents in Persian, Arabic, Georgian, Armenian, Turkic and Mon
 golian, however, were produced outside Jerusalem in the region of Transc
 aucasia, Anatolia, and Northwest Iran between 1208-1353. This presentati
 on discusses the latest research on this latter Persian and Persianate sub
 -corpus and its significance for shedding light on archival practices in t
 he eastern Islamic lands under Ilkhanid Mongol rule.Bio: Zahir Bhalloo com
