The Mongols and the West by Peter Jackson
Reassesses the relations between the Catholic West and the Mongols from the first appearance of Chinggis Khan's armies on Europe's horizons in 1221 to the death of Temur or Tamerlane. This book also evaluates the impact of Mongol-Western contacts on the West's knowledge of the world through to the voyages of Columbus and Cabot."..an excellent addition to a distinguished series."
"...a work of careful scholarship and of well sustained arguments which challenge received opinions about the Mongol impact on Europe. I enjoyed reading it immensely, and recommend it unreservedly."
Bernard Hamilton - JRAS, Series 3 - Volume 15/3 - 2005
"Professor Peter Jackson's breadth of reading is admirable and his exact notes are full of precious information about sources and secondary literature. His command of languages is breathtaking, including as it does Persian, Polish and Hungarian."
"It is both a scholarly study and a profound and useful handbook for specialists, and, as such, this clearly written book will be read all over the world. It would also be suitable for a university course book"
