by Ildikó Bellér-Hann
On This Page
Description
In this book, Ildikó Bellér-Hann presents a transcription, translation, and analysis of the Tārīkh-i Khatā'ī, or, the "History of Cathay." Written in a little-known Turkic language referred to by scholars as "Türk 'Acämī," the Tārīkh-i Khatā'ī serves as an excellent source for linguistic study. Bellér-Hann expertly dissects the language of this manuscript in order to argue that its linguistic features represent a predecessor of modern Azerbaijani Turkic. Beyond the extensive show more linguistic analysis, Bellér-Hann also provides the reader with succinct historiography of the manuscript. This work is an essential source for any reader interested in Turkic and Persian languages and history. show lessTags
