1 copy of Jahāngīr′nāmah by Jahangir, Emperor of Hindustan, 1569-1627

Author: Jahangir, Emperor of Hindustan, 1569-1627

Marginal pencil and ink notes, presumably by Price. The memoirs occupy pages 468-527 of the MS, and are followed on 527-535 by the Pand-namah, not here introduced by I'timad al-Daulah. Not by the same scribe as No 114 (1). Autobiographical Memoirs of the Emperor Jahangir. The so-called Garbled Memoirs, with Pand Namah.
