The core of the present work is the translation of
the Akhb'lr al-dawlat al-SaljUqiyya, an original source
for the history of the Great Saljriq sultans and of the
later Saljllqs of Iraq and Western Persia (429-590/1038-
1194).

The thesis has been divided into four chapters.
The first chapter is introductory and is aimed at
identifying the author of the Akhb'dr al-dawlat al-
Saljtiqiyya'and examining the various features of the
work and the possible sources to which its author
might have had access. Moreover, a general historical
survey of the period with which the text deals has been
included.

The remaining three chapters are devoted to a
translation of the text; each chapter is followed by
a commentary, where the fullest possible use is made
of the other primary and secondary sources for the
history of the period.

The events after the death of sultan MasIUd in
547/1152 until the collapse of the dynasty in 590/1194
lack a coherent pattern in the Akhbar al-dawlat al-
SalJllqiyXa. To arrange them in a better order, three
appendices have been added to the thesis.
An additional index has also been provided.

At the end of the thesis a genealogical table of
the SaljIIq sultans and maps of the territories which
they ruled have been included
