مآثر عالمگیری Maʻās̲ir-i ʻĀlamgīrī, 1161 A.H., 1748 C.E.

A history of the complete reign of the Emperor 'Ālamgīr, from 1067 A.H. (1656 C.E.) to his death, 1118 A.H. (1707 C.E.). It was compiled in 1122 A.H. (1710 C.E.), by Musta'idd-Khān, surnamed Muḥammad Sāqī, who was secretary to 'Ināyat-allāh Khān. This nobleman was the favourite record writer of 'Ālamgīr and subsequently rose to the role of Governor of Kashmir and vizier to Shāh-'Ālam. The author had thus been an eye-witness of many of the incidents recorded, as he had been connected with the Court for about forty years. He purportedly died in 1136 A.H. (1723 C.E.), at Dehlī at the age of seventy-five. The present copy is preceded by a summary of the whole work. It contains the two parts of the work but they are misplaced in the binding. Half of the binding retains its gilt stamps, it is badly stained by damp and injured; the scribe, Khwajah Karīm-allāh, has marked the date as 1161 A.H. (1748 C.E.), the first year of the reign of the Emperor Aḥmad-Shāh.
