元朝秘史
Arthur Waley published a partial translation of the "Secret History", but the first full translation into English was by Francis Woodman Cleaves, "The Secret History of the Mongols: For the First Time Done into English out of the Original Tongue and Provided with an Exegetical Commentary". The archaic language adopted by Cleaves was not satisfying to all and, between 1972 and 1985, Igor de Rachewiltz published a fresh translation in eleven volumes of the series Papers on Far Eastern History accompanied by extensive footnotes commenting not only on the translation but also various aspects of Mongolian culture. (Brill Publishers released de Rachewiltz' edition as a two-volume set in 2003.) In 2015, de Rachewiltz published an open access version of his previous translation, "The Secret History of the Mongols: A Mongolian Epic Chronicle of the Thirteenth Century," that is a full translation but omits the extensive footnotes of his previous translations.
