History Question

Paper 2

Topic:

Ata-Malik Juvaini in his The History of the World-Conqueror has the difficult task of reconciling the

Mongol conquests with an Islamic interpretation of history. In particular, he provides a positive

interpretation of the career of Chinggis Khan, the founder of the Mongol world empire and the ancestor

of Juvainis employers the Ilkhans. Given that at Juvainis time the Ilkhans were still non-Muslims and

non-monotheists, how does he accomplish this task? It may be useful to think of Juvainis work in

comparison or contrast with Ibn Shaddads more conventional Islamic portrayal of Salah al-Din.

USE MLA CITATION STYLE

(I have dropped the pdf of the excerpt that the paper is meant to be written about, as well as the excerpt for the first paper that it asks you to possibly compare and contrast. I also added class notes. If you need anything else like other readings for more context, class slideshow presentations, or anything else, feel free to ask) If citing anything, make sure to use MLA format for works cited as well.
