Most of the chapters in the present volume derive from discussions held at a workshop entitled “Rum and Hind: relations and shared experiences of conquest, acculturation and Turkish rule in pre-modern India and Anatolia” held on 25-26 May 2017, and organised by the Centre for Anatolian and East Mediterranean Studies at the University of St Andrews. We are grateful to Dr Paul Churchill for his assistance with organising the original workshop, and to the European Research Council for providing funding through the Grant no. 284076, “IslamAnatolia: The Islamisation of Anatolia, c. 1100-1500”. We are also indebted to the Department of Art History, University of York for providing a grant towards the costs of publication. In addition, we would like to record our thanks to Ian Macdonald for copyediting the volume, and Marc Czarnuszewicz for its index.
