The Saljuq Turks’ Conversion to Islam: The Crusading Sources

This article contributes to the important debate over the conversion of the Turks to Islam. Previously, it was thought that the Turks abandoned their former steppe faith and customs very swiftly to become staunch Sunni Muslims, but this view has recently been challenged by a number of studies. The current consensus seems to be that the Turks’ adoption of Islam was a process of far longer duration, spanning many decades. This article broadens this discussion by demonstrating that the chronicles written by the First Crusaders contain much useful information that is pertinent to this question. It works through these texts, showing that they can shed new light on this point.     

The Seljuk Sultanate of Rūm and the Turkmen of the Byzantine frontier, 1206–1279*

This article examines the frontier between the Seljuk Sultanate of Rūm and its Byzantine neighbours in the thirteenth century, concentrating on the place of these frontier districts within the Seljuk state. Scholarship on the frontier, influenced by the ideas of Paul Wittek, has seen it as something of a “no man's land”, politically, economically, culturally and religiously distinct from the urban heartland of the Seljuk sultanate in central Anatolia, dominated by the nomadic Turks, the Turkmen, who operated largely beyond sultanic control. It is often thought that the Seljuk and Greek sides of the border shared more in common with each other than they did with the states of which they formed a part. In contrast, this article argues that in fact the western frontier regions were closely integrated into the Seljuk sultanate. Furthermore, with the Mongol domination of the Seljuk sultanate in the second half of the thirteenth century, the Seljuk and Mongol elites became increasingly involved in this frontier region, where some of the leading figures of the sultanate had estates and endowments.     

The “Other” in the Crusading Period: Walter the Chancellor's Presentation of Najm al-Dīn Il-Ghāzī

This paper examines ideas surrounding the presentation of the Muslim “other” in Latin writings of the early period of the Crusades. Using a case-study approach of the views of one chronicler, Walter the Chancellor, in his work Bella Antiochena, on one individual Muslim, Najm al-Dīn Il-Ghāzī, the paper studies aspects of the image of Il-Ghāzī, the reasons for them, how and why they develop throughout the chronicle, and whether, from the other information given in the chronicle, it would be possible to interpret the information in other ways. The conclusions reached demonstrate that the reason for the vitriol in Walter's presentation was his wish to justify the Crusades and suggest that the writers of Outremer started to develop their own cross-cultural responses to Islam, independent of mainstream European thought, because of their situation.     

Provenance study of ancient Iranian luster pottery using PIXE multivariate statistical analysis

Although luster potteries are frequently excavated at archeological sites in Iran, a thorough scientific study of their provenance has not yet been performed. In this work, 43 pieces of Iranian luster pottery (bowl, dish and tile) excavated from Rayy, Kashan, Maragheh, Alamoot, Takht-i-Sulayman and Jiroft were analyzed in order to investigate their origin. The luster shards which belong to Seljuks and Il-Khanids dynasties (12th–13th centuries) were analyzed using proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) technique. To classify the fragments according to their location and origin, principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) were applied to the chemical compositions of the body of the shards. We were able to classify the samples into three distinct groups using PIXE.     

从清代“索性”类副词的使用看汉语副词演变的规律

“索性”在宋代的《朱子语类》中已经产生,元明清时期使用频繁,用法与现代汉语基本一致。但是清代用法与“索性”相近的副词相当多,如“爽性”、“率性”、“索兴”、“爽得”、“头信”、“投性”、“投信”、“干脆”等,不过后来“索性”类副词又趋于统一。这反映了语言现象大都是由纷纭繁复走向规范统一的规律。     

北宋疑问语气词“麽”研究

本在对北宋三类语言材料进行穷尽性统计的基础上,对北宋疑问语气词“麽”的用法进行了描写。章认为：a．至迟到北宋,“麽”已彻底、整体完成了虚化;b．在共有的语义功能范畴内,“麽”字句在与反复句的竞争中已占上风,显示出其强大的生命力;c．“麽”确实源于“无”,从北宋的“麽”的结构特征可以看出“无”的语义特征对“麽”的影响。

宋代“武科”考论

从体育文化角度对宋代科考“武科”的历史沿革、考选内容、体育文化价值和弊端等进行系统研究。“武科”又称“武举”,宋承唐制,宋仁宗天圣七年(公元1029年)正式设立。考试内容以骑射弓马为主,内场有策论(诸家兵法)。“武科”有助于宋朝社会“尚武”风气的形成,为国家遴选优秀的军事体育人才提供了方便,促进了宋代民族传统体育的形成和发展。宋朝300年间,“武科”虽受到历代君王的重视和支持,历经77榜却未选拔出一位名将,存在“武科”标准以文为主和拘于制度化运作等弊端。     

秦可卿是《红楼梦》的“败笔”吗

秦可卿是《红楼梦》中形象不够丰满的一个重要人物，有人因此认为秦可卿是曹雪芹“一时的败笔”。从秦可卿与小说主要人物之间的关系分析，这个人物集中体现了作者创作意图与主旨，是《红楼梦》的纲领性人物。
