Mongolia and the Mongols Past and Present [KSIĄŻKA]

The present volume is the result of the International Conference ?Mongolia and the Mongols: Past and Present\" held in the University of Warsaw on November 23-24, 2015. The conference enabled scholars working on different subjects related to the Mongolian history and culture, including literature and religion, using different methodologies: historical, ethnological, philological or linguistic - to meet together and exchange data and opinions. Some scientists presented results of their scholarly work, some contributed with survey of certain studies, others preferred to give advice in a form of a written contribution. The texts are published in two languages: English and Mongolian. The article on Altaic Studies in Poland by Jerzy Tulisow serves as a broad introduction to the subject and shows how interest in this field developed among Poles.
