Jochi, Muntakhab al-Tawārīkh-i Mu‘īnī, jadwal, Topkapı Sarayı Müzesi Kütüphanesi, B. 411Abstract
The article analyzes information about Jochi, the eldest son of Chinngis Khan, contained in two medieval Persian-language works, in the jadwal ([dynasty] table) Muntakhab al-Tawārīkh-i Mu‘īnī and the anonymous manuscript B.411 from the collection of the Topkapi Palace Museum Library (Topkapı Sarayı Müzesi Kütüphanesi, B. 411). Both works are attributed to the same author of Timurid times. The history of the study is given, a brief and comparative description of both works and their information, commented fragments about Jochi translated from Persian are published. Information from fragments of these works that have not previously been translated into Russian, introduced into scientific circulation, contains interesting examples of the perception of the history of the Ulus of Jochi in Timurid sources of the 15th century. Their further analysis will contribute to the understanding and characterization of the historical significance of Muntakhab al-Tawārīkh-i Mu‘īnī and Topkapı Sarayı Müzesi Kütüphanesi, B. 411. The article points out obvious historical errors, confusion and anachronisms in the published information from these works. At the same time, they are of significant source study and historiographical interest. The article is accompanied by the publication of photocopies of the relevant fragments in Persian
