The text of Minhājuddīn’s work was published in Calcutta in 1864 and was translated by Raverty in 1881. A translation of parts of the \*Tabaqāt-i-Nāṣirī\* was also incorporated in Elliot’s and Dowson’s \*History of India as told by its own Historians\*, Vol. II, pp. 259 ff. - [Previous: c13.30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c13.30) - [Next: c14.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c14.3) - [Up: c14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c14) ## Cites (1) - [Ṭabaqāt-i Nāṣirī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri) — Minhāj al-Dīn Jūzjānī --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c14.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c14.2) · Pramāṇa
