In Maqriziana VII, Al-Maqrīzī critically examines the Mongol Book of Laws, known as the Yassa, with a cautious and analytical approach. He acknowledges its significance as a legal and administrative code attributed to Genghis Khan and his successors but questions the authenticity and exact content of the text as it was known in his time. Al-Maqrīzī highlights the difficulties in verifying the original laws due to the secretive nature of the Mongol administration and the oral transmission of many rules. He also points out discrepancies and variations in the reported versions, suggesting that some aspects may have been altered or misunderstood by later interpreters. Overall, Al-Maqrīzī treats the Mongol Book of Laws as an important but somewhat elusive source, emphasizing the need for critical scrutiny rather than unreserved acceptance of its contents.
