[edit]

Is there a reason why this is known as he "Tartar Relation", rather than the more obvious translation "History of the Tartars"? 92.31.31.184 (talk) 08:31, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's in the 'Manuscripts' section, last sentence: The title Tartar Relation, coined by Painter for his 1965 edition, has stuck, cited to Connell 2000. The edition in question is cited under 'Editions'. Although not a good translation, it isn't a bad title, considering that it is an "ethnographic report" and not simply a history.
