 Mosca \n\nDescription: \nCurator: Erin Y. HuangAbstract:Chinese histories 
 of the early Mongol empire assigned a crucial formative role to the minist
 er Yelü Chucai – a figure unknown to other historical traditions.  From th
 e 1630s onward, translations prepared in the Qing Empire freed Yelü Chuca
 i to circulate widely across Eurasia.  This talk contrasts his reception i
 n Europe, where his achievements were embraced and celebrated, with the 
 more guarded stance of Manchu and Mongol authors.  It argues that Yelü Chu
 cai became a touchstone for addressing one of the thorniest questions in t
 he historical interpretation of the Mongol Empire: the relationship betwee
 n early khans and advisors drawn from the sedentary world.Bio:Matthew W. M
 osca is Dau-lin Hsu Endowed Professor and associate professor of History a
 nd International Studies at the University of Washington, Seattle.  His b
 ook The Khan and the Unicorn: Mongol Empire and Qing Knowledge in the Maki
 ng of World History (Harvard Asia Center) will be published in 2026.  \n\n
