Tārīkh-i salāṭīn-i Kart / by Ḥāfiẓ Abrū ; (Edited by) Mīr Hāshim Muḥaddith. - 1 online resource. - Miras Maktoob, ISBN: 9789004365452 . - Miras Maktoob, ISBN: 9789004365452. .
Ḥāfiẓ Abrū (d. 833/1430) was a Timurid historian who spent the greater part of his active life in Herat. An accomplished chess-player, he was a regular guest at the court of the chess-loving Tīmūr Lang (d. 807/1405). His works were all commissioned by Tīmūr's son Shāhrūkh (d. 850/1447), whom he had joined at his court in Herat after his accession to the throne in 807/1405. Ḥāfiẓ Abrū is especially known for his Jaghrāfiyā , a fascinating combination of geographical and historical information on the Islamic lands in two volumes. The work published here is part of his so-called Majmūʿa-yi Ḥāfiẓ Abrū , a universal history compiled from various sources. It is the account of the history of the Kart dynasty of Herat (643-783/1245-1381) based on, among others, Sayf b. Muḥammad Hirawī's (alive in 721/1321) Tārīkhnāma-yi Hirāt and Khaṭīb Fūshanjī's (alive in 702/1302) Kart-nāma , now lost. An important and rare source on the house of Kart of Herat.
