Notes
Selections from the first volume of the Siyar al-Mutaʼakhkhirīn (Review of Modern Times), pertaining to the reign of Nawwāb of Bengal, ‘Alīvardī Khān Mahabat Jang (b. 1676 r. 1740–1756). Copied in 3 Ṣafar 1218 AH (5 June 1802 CE), a prior owner acquired this manuscript and added it to an unrelated, uniform set of three volumes, Persian MS 151 (Vol. 2), 152 (Vol. 3), and 153 (Vol. 4) to complete it. The author, Ghulām Husain Khān Ṭabaṭāḅāī (b. 1727 or 8), a son of Patna Vice-Regent Sayyid ‘Alī Khān and cousin of ‘Alīvardī Khān, Nawwab of Bengal, composed this text in circa 1780–1784, and dedicated it to Governor-General of Bengal, Warren Hastings.
