Information of “Tarikh-i Kashgar” on the Golden Horde »
Abstract
The authors of this article consider an anonymous writing written in the Eastern Turkistan. This work was discovered in Tashkent in 1902 and was provisionally named “Tarikh-i Kashgar” by V.V. Bartold. Unfortunately, this work has not been fully studied despite the fact that it has been well known to the specialists. “Tarikh-i Kashgar” is written in the Turkic language similar to the language of many medieval literary works of the Golden Horde period. This work has never been translated into Russian in full, though already in 1969, an excerpt from “Tarikh-i Kashgar” was published in the collection of “Materials on the History of the Kazakh Khanates of the 15th–18th centuries”. “Tarikh-Kashgar” consists of 52 chapters. This article contains the transcription and translation of the 25th chapter on Jochi khan and his descendants.
