3.1

In 1705 there appeared at Paris a quarto volume of 272 pages entitled 'Histoire Generale de l'Empire du Mogol depuis sa fondation, sur les Memoires de M. Manouchi, Venitien, par le Pere François Catrou, de la Compagnie de Jesus.' There is an epistle dedicatory to the Duc de Bourgogne (1682-1712), grandson of Louis XIV., and a preface of eight (unnumbered) pages. The subjects treated are Tamberlank, Miracha, Abou Chaid, Sec Omor, Babar, Amahum, Akbar, Jean-Guir, and Cha-Jahan, till the end of the war of succession (1659). The last of these reigns occupies 78 pages. The work concludes with 40 pages of a 'Description de la Cour, des Forces, des Richesses, et du Gouvernement, des Empereurs Mogols.'
