The so-called "Qazaq khanate" was founded around the late 15th century by Jani Beg and Giray, who claimed descent from Oros of the left hand of the ulūs-i Jūchī. The foundation of the "Qazaq khanate" has been the subject of animated discussion, which, unfortunately, has been marred by a historical view about the ethnic origins of the present "Kazakh nation." The aims of this article are 1) to reconstruct the historical record from the time of the left hand of the ulūs-i Jūchī to the foundation of the "Qazaq khanate," based mainly on Qädir 'Alī Beg's Jāmi' al-Tawārīkh written at the beginning of the 17th century as a historical account of the successive polities of the ulūs-i Jūchī, and 2) to reconsider the foundation of the "Qazaq khanate" in relation to the disintegration and reorganization of the ulūs-i Jūchī. The left hand of the ulūs-i Jūchī was revived by Oros of the Tuqa Timurids in its disintegration and reorganization of whole ulūs-i Jūchī, which began in the late 14th century, and proceeded to dominate the eastern Dasht-i Qipchāq again during the lime of Baraq in the early 15th century. Although it is said that the "Qazaq khanate" was founded as a new polity during the time of Jani Beg and Giray in the late 15th century, it was actually a nomadic polity which succeeded to the left hand of the ulūs-i Jūchī revived by Oros. According to the sources, Jani Beg and Giray acted like "卯z匈"s in lheir rivalrieswith the Shibanids, and therelbre came to be caUed "卯z向."However,lhedescriptions in "漏削j'α/-712waj・疏ゐ"and other sources reveal that they werehistorically idenlified as the Orosids who succeeded to the left hand of lheu珀s-j jziai, rather than as "卯z向"s, and thus within the Juchids. Theref1〕re,the "Qazaq khanate" should be considered as a nomadic polity with orosidstaking over the len hand of the las-j jzicゐi at its core, in the process of lhedisintegrationand reorganization of the zl/iis-iJicM.
