the role of the Sufis of Lāhijan in the early Safavid history, 14 the religious policy of the<br />

Safavids, 15 and especially the comprehensive one on the rise of the Safavid power; 16 of<br />

Michel Mazzaoui’s famous book on the origins and early history of the Safavid<br />

Dynasty; 17 of Hans Roemer’s works, especially his article on the qizilbashes within the<br />

Safavid history. 18<br />

Masashi Haneda’s book on the military system of the Safavid state deserves<br />

special mention. In his study, Haneda clearly determines the absolute dominance of the<br />

qizilbash oymaqs in the Safavid army, as well as the consolidating of the principal<br />

arguments of the present thesis that the qizilbashes constituted this army were almost<br />

exclusively tribal nomads. 19 As long as the qizilbash founders of the Safavid state are<br />

concerned, comment should also be made of Faruk Sümer’s important work on the<br />

Turkoman origins of the prominent qizilbash oymaqs, 20 and of Oktay Efendiev’s<br />

article. 21 Regarding Shaykh Junayd, Walter Hinz’s famous book is still the only<br />
