| Abstract | "De Tamerlan à Gengis Khan traces the evolution of the idea of the Tartar empire, notion based on a supposed historical continuity between these two emperors, and which has structured the French perception of the history of the Orient in pre-modern era. Matthieu Chochoy highlights the dynamics and networks within which this idea circulated and the sources, mainly produced in Persia and China, that fed this paradigm. The access to these sources by French authors illustrates the different stages of the development of Oriental studies and the integration of this knowledge in scholarly circles. In this perspective, this book bears witness to the encounter between a history of scholarship in the classical age and an intellectual history of Orientalism"-- Provided by publisher. |
