"Au-delà de ce défaut, New Approaches to Ilkhanid History est un ouvrage utile, contenant plusieurs études importantes, et qui suggère efficacement des directions et outils d’investigation futurs (11). Il s’inscrira, sans aucun doute, à la longue liste des ouvrages collectifs portant sur l’histoire de l’Empire mongol ou celle de l’Ilkhanat, forme privilégiée dans un champ d’étude particulièrement vaste et éclaté (12)." – Jan Jelinowski, Académie Polonaise des Sciences et Université de Strasbourg, in BCAI 36 (2022).
