Text of Note

Studies of the Siyasat-namah of the famed late twelfth century Saljuq vizier, Nizam al-Mulk, customarily emphasize the Iranian roots of this mirror for princes work, bit this dissertation, although not denying the importance of specifically Iranian roots, argues for a broader view of the historical roots of the work. It finds that major themes of the Siyasat-namah have parallels throughout the literature of pre-Islamic societies, particularly the "advice to kings" treatises and epic accounts of the deeds of great kings. This study explores in particular ideas about kingship found in the ancient Near East, ancient India, Sassanian Persia and the Quran and the Shah-namah, after which it demonstrates the presence of these same ideas, or similar ones, within the Siyasan-namah. An additional and authorship of the Siyasat-namah and its setting within the life and career of Nizam al-Mulk.
