Title
Conversations With Emperor Jahangir (Bibliotheca Iranica: Literature Series),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This unusual work is comprised of dialogues between Emperor Nur alDin Jahangir, ruler of the Mughal Empire of India from 16051627, and 'Mutribi' alAsamm Samarqandi, an elderly visitor from Samarqand, the fabled Central Asian city which had been the capital of Jahangir's Timurid ancestors, Mutribi's account is of very great interest and importance for a number of reasons. First, its informal style offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the character of the Mughal emperor in particular and into court life in general, at times even exceeding Jahangir's own memoirs, the Tuzuki Jahangiri, in candor. Second, it provides insight into the enduring Mughal attachment to their Central Asian homeland, which Jahangir demonstrates most profoundly in his conversations with his visitor from Samarqand. Finally, it is an important historical document of Jahangir's reign, filling in the period just months before his death, after his own memoirs had left off.
