"Geschichte der Ilchane, das ist der Mongolen in Persien" by Hammer-Purgstall is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work focuses on the history of the Ilkhanate, a division of the Mongol Empire that controlled Persia, detailing the lineage, governance, and significant historical events associated with its rulers. It aims to provide a comprehensive narrative of the Mongolian presence in Persia, exploring their contributions to art, culture, and governance. The opening of the text introduces the author's dedication to the King of Bavaria, highlighting the significance of his work. In the preface, Hammer-Purgstall outlines the motivations for writing this history parallel to his previous work on the Mongolian Empire in Kipchak. He emphasizes the richness of sources available for the Ilkhanate's history compared to its Kipchak counterpart, underscoring key events such as the fall of the Assassins, the dissolution of ancient dynasties, and the rise of new ones. The narrative aims to contextualize the Mongol influence in Iran while setting the stage for a detailed examination of the Ilkhanate's rulers and their impact on the region.
