ABSTRACT
The organs of the government and the administration in the Mongol period remained the same as at the time of independence, except that they were headed or twinned by representatives of the Ilkhanid power, but for this very reason their conditions of action were profoundly transformed. It will be sufficient to recapitulate the observations arising from the narrative of events. A first feature is that the sultan rapidly lost all real power, especially in the eastern half of his realm, which was of the chief importance to the new masters. A second characteristic of these ministers is that in order to provide for the expenses of the functions they exercised, they divided the state lands among themselves, and thus became the holders of genuine lordships. A list of the holders of the various offices in the Mongol period must stop in general at the end of the thirteenth century for lack of further documentation.
