| Abstract
|
:
|
With the execution of the Abbasid caliph Al-Musta'sim in 1258, Sunni authority and legitimacy in Baghdad began to disintegrate. Amidst a global shift in Islamic authority, the recently established Delhi Sultanate became a new focal point for the development of Muslim societies. This book investigates the ways three historians living in India during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, Minhaj Siraj Juzjani, Ziya' al-Din Barani and Shams al-Din Siraj 'Afif, narrated the religious values of Muslim sovereigns through the process of history writing. Aiding the project of empire building, these intellectuals drew up an idea of an Islamic heritage that invented and reinterpreted conceptions of a historically rooted Muslim authority.
