Evidence map
This page counts the source marks across the whole corpus and asks one question of each article: how many independent witnesses stand behind it. A compilation and the book it copies count as one.
The witnesses
What each source work carries, measured in marked statements. The Chinese court histories carry the most because they are what survives: the steppe left inscriptions on stone, and the empire that fought it kept archives on paper.
Where two sources are one
10 of the 99 works write out another. Where a compilation agrees with the book it copies, the agreement carries no extra weight: it is one account at one remove, and counting it twice would turn a single line of transmission into two. The field depends_on holds this in the data, and the count of witnesses below is made after it.
The corpus by number of witnesses
Each article counted once, after the compilations have been folded back. The bands are the shape of the source situation for the sixth- to ninth-century steppe, not a ranking of the articles.
- 105 no primary witness
- 304 one witness
- 212 two witnesses
- 505 three or more
On no primary witness · 105
No statement in these articles names a source work. They are largely the neighbours, the institutions and the later states that the steppe sources do not describe, and what is said of them rests on the scholarship.
