Summary:(ProQuest: ... denotes non-US-ASCII text omitted.) Reviews of Books Contemporaries wrote about the Mongolian Empire in an astonishing variety of languages, including Arabic, Armenian, Chinese, Franco-Italian, Georgian, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Javanese, Korean, Latin, Mongolian, Persian, Polish, Russian, Syriac and Tibetan. Soviet and western specialists have translated and used the Armenian primary works of Kirakos Gandzakets'i, Hayton, and Grigor Aknets'i and the travel account of King Het'um I, and Dr Bayarsaikhan adds to these studies in writing an analysis of Mongolian-Armenian relations in the book under review. Yet her assessment provides a useful corrective to earlier studies that produced an overly negative view of Mongolian influence on the Armenians.
