Praise for this book

"Igor De Rachewiltz's ability and talent to keep track of, accumulate and sort out a flurry of publications on the SH, combined with his profound knowledge of the subject, has resulted in a unique three-volume publication unmatched in the past and unlikely to remain so in the foreseeable future." - Natalia Sergeeva Yakhontova, in: Written Monuments of the Orient 2015/1
"This is a book of great erudition and extraordinary detail. All of us in the field of Mongolian Studies owe Igor de Rachewiltz a tremendous debt of gratitude for pressing on with this new volume rather than resting on the laurels justly earned by his publication of the two earlier volumes." - John C. Street, University of Wisconsin-Madison, in: Mongolian Studies 34 (2012)
