Description

Leiden: Brill, 2005. — xxvi; 179 p. Brill’s Inner Asian library, Vol XII, ISSN 1566-7162; ISBN 90-04-14127-8Qurbān-'alī Khālidī al-Āyagūzī al-Chawchagī is the author of several major and substantial historical works dealing primarily with the history of the eastern Kazakh steppe. His historical writings, both manuscript and printed works, are essential sources for the history of Kazakhstan and Xinjiang. They also stand out for their originality, and for the author’s mastery of oral sources. Qurbān-'alī Khālidī was born in 1846 in the town of Ayaguz, a Cossack and merchant settlement and district seat at that time officially known as Sergiopol’, and located in eastern Kazakhstan, on the highway linking Semipalatinsk with the Semirech’e (Zhetisu).
