This study focuses on the exchange between Iran and China during the Mongol Empire in the thirteenth century. The Mongols created a vast transcontinental empire that served as a cultural hub of the Old World.
Under Mongol protection, goods, ideas, and technologies spread across Eurasia. The rulers of Iran and China shared cultural resources and encouraged intensive exchanges of experts and scientific literature.
Key themes of these exchanges include:
- Cartography
- Printing techniques
- Agriculture
- Astronomy
The study examines why the Mongols strongly relied on sedentary trained specialists and why they initiated so many cultural exchanges within their empire.
This work is suitable for researchers and history enthusiasts seeking in-depth and innovative insights into communication and culture during the Mongol Empire.
