See COWRIES, p. 563. FACFUR.

• Polo's « facfur » is a very correct transcription of Pers. fayfür, a common designation of the Chinese Emperor in Mussulman sources. Etymologically it means « Son of God ».

• It early occurred to western scholars that it must be a rendering of the Chinese t'ientzü, « Son of Heaven ».

• Early Mussulman writers knew the true meaning of T'ien-tzü and transferred it to fayfür (or baybür).

- Very similar to Chinese t'ientzü and Iranian fayfür is Skr. devaputra, « son of the gods ».

• The history of the term fayfür is not limited to its use as a title or a man's name. The derivative forms Pers. fayfuri > Turk. farfuru, farfuri have acquired the meaning of « porcelain ».

• In Polo's text, « facfur » is the designation of the Sung Emperor, and is never referred to Qubiiai.

• Stated by Yule, Polo's « Facfur » is in fact a combination of at least three different Sung Emperors.
