Note {12} — Chapter LXXVII
Henry Yule translation
Note 12.—The statement that the palace of Kingszé was occupied by the Great Kaan’s lieutenant seems to be inconsistent with the notice in De Mailla that Kúblái made it over to the Buddhist priests. Perhaps Kúblái’s name is a mistake; for one of Mr. Moule’s books (Jin-ho-hien-chi) says that under the last Mongol Emperor five convents were built on the area of the palace.
