A theory considered earlier* (in relation to invasions of Britain, eg Saxon-Viking-Norman) suggests that quite apart from the effect of timing on their likelihood of occurrence and on their chance of success, the effect of a conquest will last only as long as some term within the cycle of which it is on the M~ side. So it is interesting to compare the duration of Barbarian Christian Europe ** – basically, so far, until now – with that of the Mongol and Timurid conquests,*** which were relatively short-lived, like the Viking conquests (and arguably the Norman) in Britain.

**& Islam? The religion has continued; but the Arab hegemony did not last beyond the Seljuks at the latest (1038[ce])

***[See last previous ts journal entry]

****& what about the Ottomans?

(See [[Redbook9:170][19910421:1410##]{[Islamic Art –] Visual Arts [continued –] The Late Period}[21st April 1991],] 170).

I don’t think this theory is watertight!
