Description

The Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri (Memoirs of Jahangir) is the autobiography of Emperor Jahangir, the fourth ruler of the Mughal Empire in India, who reigned from 1605 to 1627. The memoirs, originally written in Persian, provide an invaluable insight into the emperor’s thoughts, political actions, and personal experiences. This translation by Alexander Rogers, edited by Henry Beveridge, offers a detailed account of Jahangir’s reign, including his observations on court politics, his relationships with nobles and military leaders, and his reflections on the governance of the empire. The work is a significant primary source for historians studying the Mughal Empire and early modern South Asian history.
