ḤÄfiẠAbrÅ« (d. 833/1430) was a Timurid historian who spent the greater part of his active life in Herat. An accomplished chess-player, he was a regular guest at the court of the chess-loving TÄ«mÅ«r Lang (d. 807/1405). His works were all commissioned by TÄ«mÅ«râs son ShÄhrÅ«kh (d. 850/1447), whom he had joined at his court in Herat after his accession to the throne in 807/1405. The JaghrÄfiyÄ is of special interest because in the parts on FÄrs, KirmÄn,Transoxania and KhurÄsÄn, geographical dataâoften collected personally by him during military campaigns in which he took partâare supplemented with much valuable historical information. The three volumes published here contain the first of the two books of which the JaghrÄfiyÄ is composed, treating of KirmÄn (vol. 3), FÄrs (vol. 2), and the known world to the west of these (including Arabia), with separate listings of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas (vol.1 , beginning vol. 2). 3 vols;volume 3.
