Further Notes on Baburiana I. The Identity of the “Bukhārā Bābur-nāma” II. Paternal Counsels attributed to Bābur in a Bhopal MS. [Dec. 1922].

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

The full story of the Turki book on which, in Kehr's Codex, Ilminski based his Bābur-nāma (1857) is a very comedy of blameless error and mischance, primarily due to textual poverty; it has yet to be told but is too long for admission in the Journal; hence the purpose of this article is restricted to showing, on the evidence of its colophon and contents, that it is not the Bābur-nāma proper it passed for in Europe from 1725 to 1903, but is a work of independent authorship, plan, and date.

page 77 note 1 Perhaps the order of the Senkovski Bābur-nāma varies from Kehr's; nothing valid leads to this surmise however.
