About the Book

English summary: This book presents a textual edition and English translation of an important historical source about the Khanate of Khiva. The text was written in 1912 by N.S. Lykoshin (1860-1922), a Russian colonial officer and renowned Orientalist. In his capacity as Commandant of the Amu-Darya Department (ADO), an administrative-territorial unit within the Turkestan Governor-Generalship, Lykoshin was tasked with overseeing affairs in the Khanate of Khiva, which since the Russian takeover of 1873 had been a Russian protectorate. During his tenure as ADO Commandant, Lykoshin produced a detailed administrative survey of the Khanate, comprising a rich bricolage of statistical data, ethnographic sketches, and travel notes replete with elements of novelistic playfulness. As such, the work represents one of the most detailed accounts of the Khivan Khanate to survive from the colonial era. The editor's introduction further leads the reader through the intricate world of contemporary Khiva - from institutional history to courtly politics, and even to contract-style assassinations and backroom intrigues. The textual edition of the work has been prepared on the basis of the only known manuscript, which is held in the National Archive of Uzbekistan in Tashkent. German description: Dieses Buch enthalt eine Textausgabe und englische Ubersetzung einer wichtigen historischen Quelle uber das Khanat von Chiwa. Der Text wurde 1912 von N.S. Lykoschin (1860-1922), einem russischen Kolonialoffizier und renommierten Orientalisten, verfasst. In seiner Eigenschaft als Kommandant der Amu-Darya-Abteilung (ADO), d. h. der administrativ-territorialen Einheit des Generalgouverneurs von Turkestan, war Lykoschin mit der Uberwachung der Angelegenheiten im Khanat Chiwa betraut, das seit der russischen Machtubernahme von 1873 ein russisches Protektorat war. Wahrend seiner Amtszeit als ADO-Kommandant verfasste Lykoschin eine detaillierte administrative Ubersicht uber das Khanat, die ein Sammelsurium aus statistischen Daten, ethnografischen Skizzen und Reisenotizen darstellt und mit romanhaften Elementen gespickt ist. Das Werk ist eine der detailliertesten Darstellungen des Khanats von Chiwa, die aus der Kolonialzeit erhalten geblieben sind. Die Einfuhrung des Herausgebers fuhrt den Leser weiter durch die komplexe Welt des zeitgenossischen Chiwa, von der institutionellen Geschichte uber die hofische Politik bis hin zu Auftragsmorden und Intrigen. Die Textausgabe wurde auf der Grundlage des einzigen bekannten Exemplars eines Manuskripts erstellt, das im Nationalarchiv von Usbekistan in Taschkent aufbewahrt wird.
