III. The Bābar-Nāma: a passage judged spurious in the Haydarābād Manuscript

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

IT is with regret that I now find it impracticable to accept as authentic a passage in the Haydarābād MS. which had been welcomed there, (1) because being with that good text, it accredited the same passage in Ilminsky's imprint and in the Mémoires de Baber, and (2) because, however ineffectually, it provides something to fill the Bābar-nāma gap of 908 a.h.

page 66 note 1 Pāyanda Ḥasan's Wāqi'āt supplies the verb, and, moreover, so far supports rejection of the Rescue Passage that it agrees verbally with the Elph. MS. (e.g. it reproduces its word hech); this agreement suggests manipulation of the Hāydarabād text for the reception of the Rescue Passage.
