Book Synopsis The Shah Jahan Nama of 'Inayat Khan by : ʻInāyat Khān

Download or read book The Shah Jahan Nama of 'Inayat Khan written by ʻInāyat Khān and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1990 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first complete English translation of a seventeenth-century Persian history of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, builder of the Taj Mahal. Between 1628 and 1658 Shah Jahan ruled an extensive empire that stretched from Afghanistan in the west to Assam in the east. His reign has been relatively neglected in the historiography of medieval India, partly because of the inaccessibility of Persian source material and the scarcity of English translations. Richly illustrated with color plates of seventeenth-century Mughal paintings from the famous Windsor Castle manuscript of the Padshah Nama, this monumental volume will be an indipensable source for all future work on Mughal India.
