Abstract

The Chinggisid imperial project saw the extension, movement and translation of political and cultural frameworks over huge distances. This session explores material entanglements in key aspects of imperial Mongol history. Francesca Fiaschetti interrogates the literati groups and imperial discourses brought together by Tuq Temür's patronage of the Academy of Scholars in the Kuizhang Pavilion. Márton Vér shows, via the form and content of a Middle Mongolian manuscript, the impact of Uyghur cultural influence in Mongol West Asia.
