This historiographical comment explores some of the historical and cultural observations made by Zeki Validi Togan in his first publication of the Ẓafar nāma-yi wilāyat-i Qazān, a rare written source on the last years of the Kazan Khanate. Togan’s work was pioneering in identification of the Persianate roots of cultural phenomena evident in the manuscript. In particular, Togan pointed out the symbolic significance of the Ilkhanid ruler Ghazan Khan in formulation of the Muslim spatial categories and naming of the city of Kazan as Ghazān. The etymological link with the Islamizing ruler and the military campaigns (ghazā) on the religious frontier served the generations of Muslims in the Volga-Urals as a means of self-fashioning in their usages of attributive names and description of space in a way alternative to the dominant imperial mapping. It is because of these obvious associations with the narratives of holy war and native forms of subjectivity that the manuscript of the Ẓafar nāma-yi wilāyat-i Qazān remained fairly marginal in the study of Muslim Eurasia, despite the seminal publication by Togan almost sixty years ago. |
