In The Mongol Empire between Myth and Reality, Denise Aigle presents the Mongol empire as a moment of contact between political ideologies, religions, cultures and languages, and, in terms of reciprocal representations, between the Far East, the Muslim East, and the Latin West.

Denise Aigle (EPHE, CNRS UMR "Orient & Méditerranée") has published monographs, edited volumes and many articles...on Mongols and Iran, including Le Fars sous la domination Mongole. Politique et fiscalité (Leuven, Peeters, 2005).
