Gardizi
Gardizi was a Persian historian of the 11th century, from Gardez in eastern Afghanistan, who wrote the Zayn al-Akhbar around 1050 for the Ghaznavid sultan Abd al-Rashid. The work is a history of Persia and Khurasan, and its chapter on the Turks and their neighbours is a key source for the steppe peoples, including the Kimek, Kyrgyz and Khazars.
