THE SUCCESSORS OF GENGHIS KHAN

This BOOK, which deals with the Turkish and Mongol tribes, Genghis Khan and his ancestors, the successors of Genghis Khan, and finally the Ilkhans of Persia, is the most original section of Rashid-al-Dm's unique achievement. It is based on first-hand information and native sources, much of which is now lost.

INTRODUCTION A L'HISTOIRE DE L'ASIE. TURCS AND MONGOLS DES ORIGINS À 1405 BY LÉON CAHUN

Les Turcs et les Mongols ont été les intermédiaires entre la civilisation des Perses et celle des Chinois. De leur propre fonds, ils n'ont rien tiré de durable; les sociétés originales qu'ils ont formées n'ont produit ni doctrine philosophique, ni œuvre artistique ou littéraire assez élaborée pour donner le type de leur génie; nées de la guerre et organisées pour la conquête, elles ne se sont pas assimilé lentement l'épargne intellectuelle des sociétés leurs voisines; elles s'en sont emparées à l a hâte, comme d'un butin dont elles voulaient tirer un profit immédiat.
