Notes
The Makhzan-i Afghānī (Afghan Treasury), composed by the Mughal court chronicler Khvājah Niʻmat Allāh b. Khvājah Ḥabīb Allāh Haravī (fl. 1613-1630), presents a history of Afghanistan> until the early seventeenth century. The work opens with three chapters (bāb) regarding the region's early legendary history and the Islamic conquest, followed by three books (daftar) devoted to the Lodi Sultans and famous religious and spiritual leaders, as well as a conclusion (khātimah) devoted to the genealogy of various Afghan tribes. Shaykh Niẓām al-Dīn Nawkar Ṣāḥib copied this volume on behalf of the French military figure, philanthropist, and collector Claude Martin (1735–1800) in Lucknow.
