Other use of 'Safavid Kurdistan'

[edit]

Not sure where in the article, but I think it would be useful to mention that "Safavid Kurdistan" is also a term used to describe all of Iranian Kurdistan (v. "Ottoman Kurdistan"). page 34page 101[1], Güngörürler, Fraternity, Perpetual Peace, and Alliance in Ottoman-Safavid Relations, 1688-1698, page 176, Semsûrî (talk) 10:28, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If I remember correctly, Willem Floor in his Titles and Emoluments in Safavid Iran: A Third Manual of Safavid Administration says that the cultural region of Kurdistan itself stretched into Anatolia, but that the administration of Kurdistan that the Safavids ruled almost corresponded to northern Iraq + the present-day Kurdistan province at its greatest extent. Those sources you linked do not seem really impressive, with the expection of Matrimonial Alliances and the Transmission of Dynastic Power in Kurdistan: The Case of the Diyādīnids of Bidlīs in the Fifteenth to Seventeenth Centuries. --HistoryofIran (talk) 11:11, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, thanks for responding. I guess we can wait for more explicit explanations for the term. Semsûrî (talk) 11:39, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
