SINCE its discovery by Western scholars in the nineteenth century, the Secret History of the Mongols (hereafter SH) has been questioned as a source of valid history. Scholars have variously seen it as a legend,' a summary of tales,2 an heroic epic,3 an epic poem,4 and, as well, as literal history.' Although some of these characterizations are demonstrably false, others are supportable enough to merit further examination and, if valid, to call into question much that has passed for historical fact down to the present time
