Notes
Six detached leaves from a dispersed manuscript of Emperor Babur's autobiography. These complete leaves come from two different parts of the natural history section Babur included in the narrative and relate to his developing acquaintance with the India subcontinent after his conquest. The copy of the Baburnama from which the Beatty folios come is the first illustrated version of the text, termed the 'Dispersed' Baburnama because its folios are widely scattered; the largest group of 21 leaves in is the Victoria and Albert Museum. (from Linda York Leach, 1995) | Culture: Islamic, Mughal | Materials/Techniques: ink on paper, gold on paper, opaque watercolor, paper | more | less
