AB  - "Contrary to popular belief, the Mongols were not simply a marauding horde that destroyed surrounding civilizations. The Mongolian empire made possible institutions, trading networks, economic systems, and intellectual and technological exchanges that would come to shape and define the early modern world. But less is known of the centuries following the collapse of that empire. Sagang Sechen's 1662 work, Precious Summary, tackles this history, from the ejection of the Mongols from Beijing after the fall of the Yuan dynasty to the rise of the Qing. Precious Summary is at the same time a Buddhist cosmological history of the universe and imperial rule, a history of Chinggis Khan, a history of the post-Yuan Mongols, and a history of the Mongols' Buddhist conversion-but throughout it is also from its contemporary moment trying to make sense of the new Manchu state. Elverskog sees this text as the most important work of Mongolian history after the 13th-century Secret History of the Mongols. It was translated into German in 1829 and has never been translated into English"--
