Zyb

ZYB or DYB BAKOUÏ-KHAN , one of the most former sovereigns of the Turkish nation, was, according to the prince historian Abou' L Ghazi, great-grandson of Turk, wire of Japhet, and consequently resulting from the patriarch Noah, with the fifth generation.

But this same historian restricts himself to say that it had as predecessors his father Jelza-Khan, and its grandfather Taunak, that it lived extremely a long time, and that it had as a successor his son Kaïouk-Khan. The Persan authors, that D' Herbelot extracted in its Eastern Bibliothèque , give on this prince and his ancestors some details based on national traditions, of which it would be difficult to guarantee the certainty. It is seen there that Turk, oldest son of Japhet, reigned or at least is established in this part of high Asia which since was named Touran and Turkestan, that it controlled its subjects, or for better saying its family with prudence and justice, and that it published the first laws which are the base of the code named Yassal, followed by Turks, the Mongols and the Tartar S its descendants, until time when these laws were renewed and increased by Gengis Khan. These same historians give to Turk four wire, of which the elder one was Touïouk or Toutok, the same one obviously as the Taunak of Abou' L Ghazi; but they say that the immediate successor of Turk was another of his sons, Ilmindgehse, which Zyb Bakouï-Khan succeeded, his/her son. The name of this last prince, following them, as means in the language of the Eastern Turks great dignity was it more powerful as its predecessors. It extended the terminals of its States, and was the first of its nation which was made raise a throne, and which carried the royal diadem. It piled up great richnesses; but it only made use of it to exert its benevolence and its liberality. It also its love for justice announced by publishing new laws which it remarked exactly. This prince left regrets all the more deserved since his/her Kaïouk-Khan son did not point out himself that by its greediness, its prodigalities and its tyranny. The Turkish nation then started to be corrupted. It had preserved the primitive religion, the dogma of the unit of God: it fell into the idolatry under the reign from Alindjeh-Khan, wire and successor of Kaïouk, which left two twin wire, Tatar and Mongol, which shared the empire and were the chiefs of two large people. Here is the extract of what provide the Eastern authors over the first centuries from there Turkish nation. Besides these traditions, these origins can not be not exact, denied they do not offer anything incredible and find their type in the Bible. The article of Zyb Bakouï-Khaan at summer singularly embellished in the historical Dictionary . De Guignes, being based on an account of Beidhavi, different on some points from that of the other Persan historians, thinks that Dyb or Zyb Bakouï-Khan could be the same character as the Chinese emperor Yu, OR Your-yu; but it does not support this opinion on any proof.
