'The Life of Alimqul is a valuable and intriguing source not least because of the paucity of accounts of the period actually written by Central Asians. Thus, it provides an alternative to the better-known perspectives of contemporary English and Russian authors writing on the region.' - The Royal Society for Asian Affairs
