Dan Jones
“During the thirteenth century Genoese traders in the Black Sea port of Caffa struck a deal to run slaves captured in the Caucasus by the Mongols to the Mamluk rulers of Egypt, shipping them to the Nile Delta via the Black Sea and Mediterranean, whereupon the slaves would be forcibly impressed into the Mamluk army. Effectively this meant that the Christian Genoese were directly responsible for supplying workers to a power that was doing its best to crush the western crusader states of Syria and Palestine.”
Dan Jones, Powers and Thrones: A New History of the Middle Ages

Jack Weatherford
“Монголи любили різноманітні змагання, тож організовували дебати між конкурентними релігіями так само, як організовували борцівські поєдинки. Вони починалися в певний день, і за ними спостері­гала група суддів. «...» Здавалося, жодна сторона не могла переконати опонентів у чомусь. Зрештою, коли вплив алкоголю міцнішав, християни перестали переконувати когось логічними аргументами та вдалися до співу. Мусульмани, які не співали, відповіли на це гучним цитуванням Корану, намагаючись заглушити голос християн, а буддисти почали мовчазно медитувати. Дебати, під час яких вони не могли переконати чи вбити один одного, закінчилися так, як закінчувалися більшість монгольських святкувань: усі були просто занадто п’яні, щоб їх продовжувати.”
Jack Weatherford, Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World
