<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In this book, Ildikó Bellér-Hann presents a transcription, translation, and analysis of the <i>Tārīkh-i Khatā'ī, </i>or, the History of Cathay. Written in a little-known Turkic language referred to by scholars as Türk 'Acämī, the <i>Tārīkh-i Khatā'ī </i>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 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>The linguistic analysis [in this work] is comprehensive and persuasive.</p>--Robert Dankoff "Journal of the American Oriental Society Vol. 119, No. 3"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Ildikó Bellér-Hann is an associate professor in the Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies at the University of Copenhagen.
