This volume is based on discussions at a conference convened by the Institute of Iranian Studies at the University of St Andrews in March 2013 under the title Eastern Iran and Transoxiana, 750-1150. We are extremely grateful to those institutions whose financial support made the conference and the resulting volume possible: the British Institute of Persian Studies, the Iran Heritage Foundation, the Honeyman Foundation, the Medieval Institute of the University of Notre Dame, the School of History of the University of St Andrews, the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The editors would also like to express their gratitude to Dr Paul Churchill for his assistance both in organising the conference and in editing the volume. We are also grateful to the British Institute of Persian Studies for agreeing to include this volume in its publication series and to Ali Ansari for his efforts to secure its passage through the press. – A.C.S.
