영문 초록

From several historical sources named generally Altan tov i most ancient and important one is qad-un u¨ndusu¨nu¨ quriyangyui altan tob i neretu¨ suder (1-83a) or khuraangui Altan tovch (The Abbreviated Golden History), which is the second oldest after Mongolyn Nuuts Tovchoo (Mongolian Secret History) and it combines traditional style of historical writing with Indian and Tibetian ones. One more feature that should be mentioned is the interrelation of ancient tales about historic people and finely presented and almost unchanged oral literature. Up to now, researchers have been using only khorgoljin, iron tiger script version of Khuraangui Altan Tovch , published by G.Gomboev in 1858 and Kh. Temget in 1925 and 1927. Fortunately, I have found a new version of Khuraangui Altan Tovch from Gobi-Altai aimag in 1997. I have been studying this manuscript to introduce to other researchers. Versions of Altan Tovch by G. Gomboev and Temget were edited and interpreted several times by different researchers before publication. Therefore it contains many mistakes and misinterpretations. There are 3 manuscripts kept in Petersburg Institute of Eastern studies. One of them encoded F12 , and written at the end of 19th century contains too many mistakes and therefore can not be used as a research material. I studied remaining two manuscripts encoded F25 and G26 in comparison with other versions of Khuraangui Altan Tovch . I found out that G. Gomboev was familiar with G26 manuscript only and he had never seen the F25 version.
