Description
Memoirs of Zehir-Ed-Din Muhammed Baber, Emperor of Hindustan is the autobiography of Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire in India, written by himself in Chaghatai Turkish. The work, translated by John Leyden and William Erskine, offers a detailed account of Babur’s life, from his early years in Central Asia to his conquest of India. The memoirs provide insights into his military campaigns, personal reflections, and the cultural and political landscape of his time. Revised by Sir Lucas King, the text remains a crucial primary source for understanding Babur’s reign and the foundations of the Mughal Empire.
