This book is the attempt to bring - through the study of the written sources - one of the many faces of the complex Mongol history to its historical dimension. It concentrates on the Mongol dominion in Caucasia, considered as the area that goes from the Azov Sea down to modern Georgia. The period of the Mongol dominion was not the unique occasion during which sedentaries cultures and nomad civilizations came to interact; but it was only after this event that Caucasia underwent a coherent power of a united political system which enclosed in itself the character of both the social models. The genesis of this process and its results are the main object of this book. Il volume intende riportare, attraverso lo studio delle fonti, un aspetto della complessa vicenda mongola alla sua dimensione storica. L'opera si concentra sulla dominazione mongola nella Caucasia, qui considerata come l'area che dal Mar d'Azov scende a sud fino a includere la Georgia attuale. Il periodo della dominazione mongola non fu la prima occasione durante la quale culture sedentarie e civiltà nomadi si trovarono a interagire; è pero in seguito a questo evento che la Caucasia subì un potere coerente da parte di un sistema organizzato che racchiuse in sé i caratteri di entrambi i modelli; la genesi di tale processo e i suoi risultati costituiscono l'oggetto fondamentale del lavoro.

The book is written by anthropologists, historians, and archaeologists specializing in nomadic studies. All the chapters presented here discuss various aspects of one significant problem: how could small nomadic peoples at the outskirts of agricultural civilizations subjugate vast territories between the Mediterranean and the Pacific? What was the impetus that set in motion the overwhelming forces of the nomads which made tremble the royal courts of Europe and Asia? Was it an outcome of any predictable historical process or a result of a chain of random events? A wide sample of nomadic peoples is discussed, mainly on the basis of new data.
