Beyond Conquest: Reassessing the Legacy of Chinggis Khan

Edited by Chuluun Sampildondov and Bayarsaikhan Dashdondog.

This volume examines the history of the Mongol Empire within its broader Eurasian context, paying particular attention to the political, cultural, economic, and intellectual transformations that accompanied and followed the Mongol conquests. Through contributions by international scholars, the publication explores the material culture and written sources associated with Mongol rule in China, Iran, and Central Asia, thereby highlighting the regional diversity and interconnectedness of the Mongol world. A central focus is the political and institutional development of the Mongol Empire. The contributions examine the decrees and legal principles of the khans, the establishment of political structures and forms of government based on the ulus, and the mechanisms through which Chinggisid rulers legitimized and consolidated their authority. These studies demonstrate how the mobility of people, knowledge, technologies, and religious traditions facilitated sustained interaction among different regions and communities across Eurasia. - Contents: Tumurtogoo Domii: The Decrees of Toghon Temür Khan. - Matsuda Koichi: Are the Kazakh Tama Clan Descendants of the Mongol Empire’s Frontier Garrison Forces (Tama Corps)? - Pubblici Lorenzo: The Perception of Mongol Political Culture in 14th-Century Venetian Sources, 1333-1394. - Qiu Yihao: "Kalîla wa-Dimna" in Mongolian.
