This is a brief outline of Dr. Bretschneider's epitome of the chapters in the Ming history which relate to Turfan, or Uighuristan. It shows, briefly, the course of the history of the province according to the Chinese view; but when we come to compare the names and dates with the same story as gathered from the Tárikh-i-Rashidi, the two accounts are found not to agree. In the summary, or discursive table, given in Section II. of this Introduction, some of the Khans of Uighuristan have been mentioned; with the dates of their reigns (as far as obtainable), from Mirza Haidar's statements. They may be placed here in juxtaposition with those of the Ming-Shi, for purposes of comparison, as follows:— Ming-shi. 1. In-ghi-rh-cha died 1428 2. Manku Timur ? 3. Ba-la-ma-rh was reigning 1442 4. Ye-mi-li Huo-jo was reigning 1450 5. Sultan Ali died 1478 6. Ahmad died 1504 7. Mansur died 1545 8. Shah Khan died 1570 Tarikh-i-Rashidi. 1. Vais Khan died 1428 2. Isan Bugha II. died 1462 3. Dust Muhammad died 1468 4. Kabak Sultan ? 5. Ahmad died 1504 6. Mansur died 1543 7. Shah Khan was reigning at close of history. From this, it appears that none of the rulers mentioned by the Chinese are the same as those given in the Tarikh-i-Rashidi, till the name of Ahmad Khan is reached, while the date of the death of his successor, Mansur Khan, differs by two years in the two accounts. The allusion to Vais Khan accords fairly satisfactorily as to date; but here all accordance ends.
