The Däftär-i Čingiz-nāmä is an anonymously written testament/chronicle of Volga Tatar oral stories.[1] Composed in the late 17th century, though not based on historical fact, it gives insight into the qazaq(wandering warrior/outcast/runaway) way of life.[1]

Mongol genealogy

edit

The Däftär-i Čingiz-nāmä gives an indepth look at the ancestry of Genghis Khan, while giving a narrative legend of the fictitious "qazaq" life of Temur and Genghis Khan.[1]

Among the Volga Tatars to become a "qazaq"(qazaq čïq) was an expression meaning to leave one's home and become a wanderer.[2]

Early Qazaqs

edit

A renegade military troop (hazāra) that abandoned a son of Temür was referred to as "qazaq" in the early fifteenth-century book Ẓafar-nāmas.[3] Throughout the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, a number of marauding or vagabond tribes, such as the Don Cossacks and the Zaporozhian Cossacks, emerged in the Black Sea steppes.[4] These communities came to be known by the term "qazaq."[4]

Modern version

edit

Dilyara Usmanova, professor of History at Kazan Federal University, states the Däftär-i Čingiz-nāmä is among the most significant works of the Volga region's literary history.[5] Usmanov and M. Ivanics edited the Däftär-i Čingiz-nāmä in 2002.[6]
