Accordingly, The Secret History of the Mongols, Jami' al-Tawarikh and Yuan Shi, Chapter 1 examined and concluded that they have similar perceptions about Chinggis Khan, but their approach to the events differs. In this respect, to reconcile these differences, the compilers emphasize Chinggis Khan's good deeds and legitimize or censor things they attribute negatively in accordance with the conditions of the sovereignty of the Mongols, Persia, and China during the compilation process of these sources.30 cm.Mongolia -- History.vii, 116 leaves ;
