Juzjani's /Tabakat-i Nasiri /as a source for the history of Khorezm
The article is devoted to the analysis of information on the history of Khorezm during the reign of the Anushteginid dynasty (1097-1200) in the Persian work by Juzjani/Tabakat-i-Nasiri/. This source offers an extensive array of information on this topic, which significantly supplements the information on the history of Khorezm as part of other Arabic-Persian works of the 13th century. It is also worth noting that this Persian historian provides completely unique data regarding the reign of some Khorezmian rulers, absent from other sources. One of the objectives of this article is not only to highlight this kind of information, but also to try to analyze the reasons why the medieval author included them in /Tabakat-i-Nasiri/. Another important problem to be dealt with in this article is the genealogy of the Anushteginids in Juzjani's text, significantly differing from the one cited by his contemporaries. In particular, the names of the rulers of Khorezm mentioned in /Tabakat-i-Nasiri/, in some cases significantly mismatch with the names of the Khorezmshahs known from other Arabic-Persian sources of the 13th century.
