Altan Tobchi

Japanese: アルタン・トプチ(英語表記)Altan Tobchi
Altan Tobchi
Mongolian chronicle. Altan Topchi means "golden outline." There are several chronicles with the name Altan Topchi, but the two most famous are Altan Topchi, compiled in the first half of the 17th century by an unknown author, and Altan Topchi by Lobsang Danjin, compiled in the second half of the 17th century. The contents are the history of the royal lineages of India and Tibet, the Mongolian royal lineage centered around Genghis Khan, and Mongolia during the Ming Dynasty. Although it contains many legendary elements, it is a work comparable to The Origin of Mongolia (1662), and is a fundamental historical source on Mongolian history and society, especially from the 14th to 17th centuries.
