Husayn Amirkhan. Legend about the Lake Kaban. Fragment from the Cronicle Tawarikh-i Bulghariya, translated from the Old Tatar and commented by A.M. Akhunov

Abstract

Tawarikh-i Bulgharia or the Bulghar History is an influential piece of sacred Bulgharist historiography emerged at the turn of the eighteen and the nineteenth centuries. This version of the chronicle published in 1883 by Husayn Amirkhan and was written as an extended commentary on the work of Husam al-din Bulghari under the same title. It has been never translated into Russian and by this reason remains rather poorly studied to date.
