Product Description
An accessible, documents-based introduction to the history of the Mongols.
The volume opens with a brief original essay by Morris Rossabi, one of the world’s foremost scholars on the Mongols.

Following is a rich collection of primary sources translated into English from Armenian, Arabic, Chinese, Franco-Italian, Italian, Korean, Latin, Persian, Russian, Syriac, and Tibetan that will give students a clear sense of the extraordinary geographic and linguistic range of the Mongol Empire as well as insight into the empire’s rise, how it governed, and how it fell.
