The Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri: or, Memoirs of Jahangir (Volume 1 of 2) by Jahangir

"The Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri: or, Memoirs of Jahangir (Volume 1 of 2)" by Jahangir is an autobiography written in stages until 1622. Following his great-grandfather Babur's literary tradition, Mughal Emperor Jahangir chronicles the first nineteen years of his reign in Persian. Beyond political history, he shares intimate reflections on art, family, and governance—including his efforts to curb corruption among jagirdars and his admiration for his influential wife Nur Jahan. This magnificently illustrated manuscript offers a personal window into Mughal court life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
