the *Tājak*, a treatise on astronomy, by Mukammal Khān Gujrātī, the *Wāqi’āti-Bābarī* in Turkish by Raḥīm Khān Khānān, and the *History of Kashmīr* in Sanskrit by Maulānā Shāh Muḥammad Shāhābādī.¹ The *Jāmi’ul-Rashīdī* was translated by ’Abdul Qādir. The *Majma’ul-Buldān*, a geographical work in Arabic, was rendered into Persian by several scholars such as Mullā Aḥmad T’hat’hah, Qāsim Beg, Shaikh Munawwar and ’Abdul Qādir.² The *Haribansa* was also translated into Persian, while Naṣrullah Muṣṭafā and Maulānā Ḥusiani Wā’iẓ had made a Persian rendering of the *Pañchatantra*, which was called *Kalilah-Damnah*. The translation of the last-named work was difficult, and so an easier adaptation under the title of *’Ayār-Dānish* was also made.
