Recenzje

'The articles collected in China under Mongol Rule should serve as a paradigm for younger generations of scholars to emulate. The high standard of scholarship, the depth and versatility of linguistic and philological expertise, and the ability to impart a genuine ’feel’ for the era when China was ruled by the Mongols all combine to make this volume a "must-have" item for those who teach or conduct research on this period of history.' Mongolian Studies, Vol. XX
