from Volume II Part 1 - Literary Sources
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 2024
Most of the Old Uighur text materials retrieved from East Turkestan and the Gansu region of northeastern China are contemporaneous with the Mongol Empire and deserve analysis for the historical reconstruction of Uighur society in eastern Central Asia, as an example of subjects of Mongol dominion. Old Uighur sources also offer significant information on the kernels of Mongol rule, since the Uighur Turks became indispensable collaborators with Mongol rulers all over Eurasia, establishing and influencing the Mongol system of domination as well as literacy and religious cultures. This chapter introduces the results of scholarly works on the Old Uighur sources, which supplement or improve the knowledge of the history of the Mongol Empire.
