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

An imperial memoir that records a sequence of yearly entries detailing court ceremonies, appointments, gifts, diplomatic and military movements, and administrative orders; it interweaves precise observations of nature and material culture, notes on coinage and a celestial apparition, an account of a plague, a rich description of Kashmir, and anecdotes such as a tale about a gardener’s daughter and remarks on painters and paintings, offering a blend of official chronicle and personal reflection on governance, artistic patronage, and everyday court life.
