“Maragha” as a book category groups works on the city of Maragha (Marāgha/Maragheh) in northwest Iran and its influential intellectual legacy, especially the 13th‑century Maragha Observatory and the “Maragha school” of astronomy and mathematics founded under Nasir al‑Din al‑Tusi. It includes studies of Ilkhanid patronage of science (e.g., Hülegü Khan), biographies and analyses of scholars such as al‑Tusi, Muʾayyad al‑Din al‑ʿUrdi, and Qutb al‑Din al‑Shirazi; critical editions and translations (like the Zij‑i Ilkhani); research on astronomical instruments, manuscripts, and libraries; and accounts of key theoretical innovations (e.g., the Tusi couple, Urdi lemma) and debates about their transmission to later Islamic and early modern European astronomy. The category can also cover the archaeology, architecture, and urban/cultural history of Maragha across pre‑Islamic, medieval, and early modern periods, and broader surveys of Persian scientific culture that intersect with Maragha’s scholarly milieu.
