This Italian-edition of the medieval text known as the Storia segreta dei Mongoli (originally Mongolyn Nuuс Tovchuu) presents a vivid narrative of the rise of the Mongoli, their legendary leader Gengis Khan (then Temüjin), and the formation of an empire across the Eurasian steppes. Curated by the Russian mongolist Sergej Kozin, with introduction by Fosco Maraini, and translated into Italian by Maria Olsùfieva, the work blends historical chronicle, oral tradition, and cultural anthropology. Its style maintains an archaic cadence, echoing nomadic sagas, while offering insights into Central Asian history, nomadic empires, and the transmission of mythic memory. The edition is significant for its role in bringing this foundational Mongolian text to an Italian audience and for its appeal to historians of medieval Eurasia.
