The Golden Summary is the earliest post-Mongol Empire period compilation of legends of the
Chinggis Khaan mythos known to date. These stories are the original legends from which many
later Chinggis Khaan Chronicles were based and were central to the mythos of the Cult of
Chinggis Khaan. The stories within legitimize the rules of Chinggis Khaan and his descendants
through divine acts but also clearly show the human side of Chinggis Khaan of how he erred
from lust and anger and of his willingness to correct his mistakes to listen to reason thus
making him the great just and righteous emperor. This book contains together with extensive
commentary the first full Latin transcription English translation and word index of the pages
unearthed in Inner Mongolia in the Mid-20th Century.
