Beveridge) 3.2.1 - **Language:** English ### [3.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.humayun.humayunnama~en-beveridge.3.2.1) Not long after January 8th, 1526, a messenger would reach Kābul who took more than news, for Bābar had found manuscripts in the captured fort of Milwat, and now sent some for Kāmrān, while he gave others to Humāyūn. They were valuable, but not so much so as he had hoped, and many were theological. This and other records about books remind one that they were few and precious in those days.
