Greek Sources
Byzantine Greek historiography forms an indispensable group of written sources for Eurasian history, including the history of the Mongol Empire. The sources must be interpreted within the framework of Byzantine civilization (Greek antiquity, Christianity, and the Roman imperial tradition). One of the major difficulties in interpreting Byzantine sources derives from the archaizing character of ethnonyms: one appellation may refer to several ethnic…
The Origin of the Institution of Basqaqs
Dedicated to N. A. Baskakov
Turks, Tatars and Russians in the 13th–16th Centuries
The setting for the studies collected here is the West-Eurasian steppe region, extending from present-day Kazakhstan through southern Russia, Ukraine and Moldavia to the Carpathian Basin. The first articles deal with pre-Mongol, Turkic peoples of the region and their relations with the Byzantine Empire to the south, but the core of the volume is the history of the Golden Horde and its successor states, such as the Kazan and Crimean Khanates, whos…
The Golden Horde Term Daruġa and its Survival in Russia
Bemerkungen zum uigurischen Schrifttum in der Goldenen Horde und bei den Timuriden
The Mongol World
Drawing upon research carried out in several different languages and across a variety of disciplines, The Mongol World documents how Mongol rule shaped the trajectory of Eurasian history from Central Europe to the Korean Peninsula, from the thirteenth century to the fifteenth century. With 58 chapters written by both senior and early-career scholars, the volume is an essential resource for all students and scholars who study the Mongol Empire fro…
The Preconditions to Becoming a Judge (Yarġuči) in Mongol Iran
Despite the existence of some general overviews, the institution of the Mongol tribunals has not been studied in a satisfactory way. A great deal of details are unclear and the functioning of the whole legal procedure is shrouded in obscurity. The present paper makes an attempt to elucidate an aspect of the historical development of this Turco-Mongolian institution in Ilkhanid Iran, one of the Chingisid uluses, namely what were the preconditions …
Nomads As Agents of Cultural Change
The Jochid realm
According to the regulations of the yasa , the Mongol legal code based on Chinggis Khan's ordinances, the entire empire was the property of the Khan's family, and its members divided up this property according to set principles. Every new conquest necessitated the division of the added spoils. Chinggis's first wife, Börte, bore four male children and Chinggis ‘envisioned each of them as a ruler and called them the four külügs [pillars]', dividing…
The Cambridge History of Inner Asia
This volume centres on the history and legacy of the Mongol World Empire founded by Chinggis Khan and his sons, including its impact upon the modern world. An international team of scholars examines the political and cultural history of the Mongol empire, its Chinggisid successor states, and the non-Chinggisid dynasties that came to dominate Inner Asia in its wake. Geographically, it focuses on the continental region from East Asia to Eastern Eur…
The beginnings of coinage in the blue horde
Since the publication of Hammer-Purgstall’s path-breaking monograph (1840) on the history of the Golden Horde much has been written on this westernmost Tatar state, but some basic problems have remained unsolved ever since. One of the most obscure periods in the history of the Golden Horde is the twenty years’ anarchy (called bulqaq in Turkic) after Berdibek Khan’s death in 1359/60 (AH 761), lasting until 1380, the date of the establishment of To…
Turcological remarks on Old Church Slavonic ковъчегъ ‘box, coffin’
The Old Church Slavonic word ковъчегъ ‘box, coffin’ can be derived from Protobulgarian * qovčaq , a synonymous form of the related Turkic word qaburčaq ‘id.’ which in turn was the source of Hung. koporsó ‘coffin’. The Church Slavonic and the Hungarian words came from different Turkic dialects and were borrowed into the respective languages under different geographical and chronological circumstances, though both of them can be considered ancient,…
Cumans and Tatars
Cumans and Tatars
The Cumans and the Tatars were nomadic warriors of the Eurasian steppe who exerted an enduring impact on the medieval Balkans. With this work, István Vásáry presents an extensive examination of their history from 1185 to 1365. The basic instrument of Cuman and Tatar political success was their military force, over which none of the Balkan warring factions could claim victory. As a consequence, groups of the Cumans and the Tatars settled and mingl…
