▪ Russian anthropologist
also called Wilhelm Barthold
born Nov. 15, [Nov. 3, Old Style] 1869, St. Petersburg, Russia
died Aug. 19, 1930, Leningrad [St. Petersburg]
Russian anthropologist who made valuable contributions to the study of the social and cultural history of Islām and of the Tajik Iranians and literate Turkic peoples of Central Asia.
Bartold joined the faculty of the University of St. Petersburg in 1901 and for the rest of his life devoted himself to teaching and research, interrupted by frequent, extended field trips. His studies ranged from broader questions, such as those of cultural history, to more delimited, specialized histories. The interaction of the individual with society was of particular interest to him, and he also worked to refine the theory of his colleague Vasily Radlov on the formation of Turkic (
Turkic peoples) states through usurpation of popular authority by a powerful individual. His major works appeared in nine volumes; translations include
Four Studies on the History of Central Asia, 3 vol. (1956–62), and
Turkestan Down to the Mongol Invasion (1928). Bartold contributed many articles to
The Encyclopaedia of Islam; especially noteworthy are his portraits of peoples of the Caucasus and Asia, including the Kalmyks, Kazaks, and Kyrgyz.
