This dissertation focuses on the fashioning of new discourses on authority and sacral kingship in thirteenth and fourteenth-century Mongol-ruled Iran. It examines how Jewish and Muslim (both Shi'i and Sunni) bureaucrats, court historians, scholars, and courtiers experimented at the Mongol court with Persian and Islamic theological and political paradigms to express, reaffirm, and redefine a Mongol political theology of divine right that invested Chinggis Khan and his offspring with sacral charisma and the charge of world domination. This study argues that in their attempt to mediate the Mongol understanding of the Chinggisid ruler as a source of law and divine wisdom, intermediaries in late medieval Iran laid the foundations for a new idiom of sacral Muslim kingship.
