Tadhkirat al-shuÊ¿arÄʾ
ä¸ç¼ï¼
Born into a family of scholars and literati in Samarqand, Muḥammad âSulá¹Änâ Muá¹ribÄ« SamarqandÄ« (d. 1040/1630) regarded himself as a descendant of ArghÅ«n ÄqÄ (d. 673/1275), viceroy of the Mongols in KhurÄsÄn. He received a broad education with an emphasis on literature and music, first in Samarqand and then in Bukhara. His major teacher in literature in Bukhara was Ḥasan NithÄrÄ« BukhÄrÄʾī (d. 1004/1596). Muá¹ribÄ« is well-known for his KhÄá¹irÄt, recollections of his highly-polished conversations with the Mughal emperor JahÄngÄ«r (d. 1627), which took place during his visit to him in Lahore in 1036/1626. The other work for which he is known is his Persian Tadhkirat al-shuÊ¿arÄʾ, a biographical dictionary of some 343 poets, emirs, and sultans, mainly from Transoxania and BadakhshÄn. A unique source of information on its time and modelled on a similar work by his teacher, it is based on his direct acquaintance with most of the people it describes.
