What it is
A short account of the Mongols from their appearance to the 1270s, written in a monastery in Cilicia from reports and observation.
Why it lasted
One of the few contemporary Christian narratives of the Mongol empire's rise, and unusually attentive to Mongol religious practice.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
