Description:Three memoirs: Gulbadan Begum's Humayun Nama/ Jawhar Aftabachi's Tadhkiratu 'l-waqiat/Bayazid Bayat's Tarikh-i HumayunIn the sixteenth century 'Tajik' Persian was the lingua franca of all Central Asia, as it is still the common language of Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and cities in Uzbekistan like Bukhara and Samarkand. In the northern subcontinent, from the time of the first lasting Muslim incursions in the tenth century until the mid-nineteen century, when the British replaced Persian with English, the common language was Persian. Introduced by the Ghaznavids and cultivated by all their successors, particularly the Mughals by virtue of their Timurid cultural heritage, Indo-Persian literature represents a large portion of the totality of the wealth of Persian literary output.Of the three texts included in this publication, Bayazid Bayat s account is of special value because it was dictated by an illiterate and must therefore be a fair representation of Persian as it was spoken in the sixteenth century. In this regard it may be unique among medieval texts.It will also be of interest to historians to contrast the three original memoirs by Princess Gulbadan, Jawhar Aftabachi, and Bayazid Bayat with the convoluted accounts of Abu al-Fazl's Akbarnama, the official history of Humayun's and Akbar's reigns that was based largely upon such memoirs.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
