Beschreibung
The Persian world history “Ḥabīb al-siyar”, written by the historian Khvāndamīr in Safavid Herat in the 1520s, was subsequently adapted to the religious and political expectations of his later patrons, the Sunni Mughals in India, and circulated through hundreds of copies spread across the entire eastern Islamic world. By taking cues from reception, provenance, and historical readership studies, Philip Bockholt examines ownership and readership notes, endowment seals and illustrations in order to shed light on the owners and readers of the work between the 16th and early 20th centuries. In doing so, he situates the “Ḥabīb al-siyar” within the broader framework of Islamic book culture and shows that the chronicle was part of a larger canon of texts. His study offers insights into the transregional transmission of Persian historiography as well as regionally specific readership practices.
