This book is an outstanding work of scholarship, which builds on a long history of research and publication in this field dating to the 1890s. The author has made extensive use of Chinese sources in the original and prepared a new edition of the Old Turkic inscriptions. It also provides new views on the dating and authorship of the inscriptions. In short, it is the leading edition for scholarly use by Turkologists, but is also open to those interested in the history of the Early Turks and Medieval Central Eurasia. An essential source book and reference work.

"The author built the topic up in such a way that someone could come into the subject with no knowledge and learn, but also someone with extensive knowledge could approach this book and still gain something from it. The inclusion of the original Old Turkic inscriptions and his use of the glossary at the end invited to learn more. Hao Chen, with this text, has hopefully opened up another avenue of research that will allow himself and many others to continue exploring Central Asia’s history"
