Note 429 — Chapter XXVI · THE SHAYBĀNIDES
Reading edition
The results of M. Veliaminof-Zernof’s careful researches into the history of the Kazāks were published in three volumes of the Memoirs of the Eastern Branch of St. Petersburg Archæological Society, under the title of The Emperors and Princes of the Line of Kasim. He called this dynasty the Kasimovski, after Kāsim Khān, the son of Jānībeg. Cf. also Levshin’s Description of the Hordes and Steppes of the Kirghiz-Kazaks, St. Petersburg, 1864. Mīrzā Haydar says: “The Kazāk Sultans began to reign in A.H. 870 (1465), and continued to enjoy absolute power in the greater part of Uzbegistān till the year A.H. 940” (1533). See Tarikh-i-Rashidi, p. 82.
