引用

To grasp the history of the Mongol era, sources in more than twenty languages — with Persian and Chinese as the two main corpora, and including Mongolian, Turkic, Jurchen, Latin, Sanskrit, Japanese, etc. — are involved and must be handled in their original forms.
出典: The Mongol Empire and the Great Yuan State (2004年) -
