Questions refer to the following passage. For these were a people who emerged from the confines of China, and attacked the cities of Turkestan, like Kashghar and Balasaghun, and thence advanced on the cities of Transoxiana . . . and of them one division then passed on into Khurasan, until they had made an end of taking possession, and destroying, and slaying, and plundering, and thence passing on to Ray, Hamadan and the Highlands, and the cities contained therein, even to the limits of Iraq, whence they marched on the towns of Adharbayjan and Arraniyya, destroying them and slaying most of their inhabitants, of whom none escaped save a small remnant . . . And thence they made their way to the lands of Qipchaq, who are the most numerous of the Turks, and slew all such as withstood them, while the survivors fled to the fords and mountain-tops, and abandoned their country, which these Tatars overran. All this they did in the briefest space of time, remaining only for so long as their march required and no more. [T]hese Tatars conquered most of the habitable globe, and the best, the most flourishing and most populous part thereof, and that whereof the inhabitants were the most advanced in character and conduct, in about a year; nor did any country escape their devastations which did not fearfully expect them and dread their arrival.

Questions refer to the passage below. Silks were still very expensive textiles, but they were no longer reserved for rulers or officials in most parts of Eurasia after the twelfth century. Many different factors, including the various religious movements discussed here, contributed to this result. In this article Buddhist, Christian, and Islamic religious movements and their relationships with the silk trade have been discussed separately. But surely there must have been many links between the three major religious spheres and trade circles. Meanwhile, followers of religions other than Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam were also involved in the silk trade, sometimes as part of their religious activities. For example, Jewish traders who were active in Europe and the Mediterranean basin might have come all the way to central Asia, China, and India. Nestorian Christians are known to have been active in the silk trade. Though estranged from orthodox Christianity, they might still have served as links between the Christian world and Asian lands. Zoroastrians were well-known traders and preachers in Tang China. Manichaeans were found from the Mediterranean to China and left many artistic remains along the central Asian trade routes. Liu Xinrui, "Silks and Religions in Eurasia, c. A.D. 600-1200," in Journal of World History, 1995 -What can be inferred about the intended audience of this article?
