Reviewing the lesson of "Historical Geography of Transoxiana"

Abstract

The present paper reviews the explanatory and interpretive position of the book "An Introduction to the Historical Geography of the Transoxiana (in the Early Islamic Centuries)" in two positive and negative perspectives. Transoxiana, as the easternmost state of the Iranian and Islamic worlds during the early Islamic centuries, had undeniable and close cultural, economic, social and political links with other regions of the Muslim world, yet its geographical boundaries and features are not much well known. Introduced as a textbook for history students, the present book marks the beginning of a new flow in Transoxiana research. The positive points of the book include the importance of the subject and the different content processing of the book, but the its drawbacks include ambiguity of the issue, the inconsistency of the title and the content, the lack of use of all the major sources, the lack of scrutiny and the necessary attention in using new research, failure to follow scientific standards in formulating the book, and the existence of content and edition mistakes in the text.
