He is principally known for his universal history, the Raw\u017cat a\u1e63-\u1e63af\u0101\u02be (“The garden of purity”), which he wrote under the patronage of the high-ranking functionary Ali-Shir Nava’i (died 1501). According to the German orientalist Bertold Spuler, the Raw\u017cat a\u1e63-\u1e63af\u0101\u02be is the greatest universal history in Persian regarding the Islamic world.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Born in c.\u20091433\/4 in the city of Bukhara in Timurid-ruled Transoxiana, Mirkhvand belonged to a family of sayyids, descendants of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He was the son of Burhan al-Din Khvandshah (died 1466\/7), who was a disciple of the Sufi shaykh Baha al-Din Umar Jaghara’i (died 1453) in the city of Herat, where Mirkhvand’s family had distinguished themselves. Mirkhvand’s brother was the sadr (head of religious fundings) of the Timurid crown prince Badi’ al-Zaman Mirza (died 1514), the eldest son of the incumbent ruler Sultan Husayn Bayqara (r.\u00a01469\u20131506).Mirkhvand wrote under the patronage of Ali-Shir Nava’i (died 1501), an important counselor of Husayn Bayqara and advocate of arts and literature. Mirkhvand enjoyed good relations with Nava’i, as indicated of Mirkhvand’s description of the latter in his universal history Raw\u017cat a\u1e63-\u1e63af\u0101\u02be (“The garden of purity”), as well as the positive account of Mirkhvand in Nava’i’s biographical dictionary Maj\u0101lis al-naf\u0101\u02beis (“The assemblies of rare talents”). Using the Timurid history book Ma\u1e6dla\u02bf al-sa\u02bfdayn of Abd al-Razzaq Samarqandi (died 1482) as his cornerstone, Mirkhvand started writing his Raw\u017cat a\u1e63-\u1e63af\u0101\u02be in 1474\/5. Mirkhvand spent many years in the Ilkhlasiyya khanqah, a house for Sufis erected by Nava’i in 1483. Towards the end of his life, he lived for a year at the shrine of the prominent Hanbali and Sufi scholar Khwaja Abdullah Ansari (died 1088), near Herat. Mirkhvand died in Herat on 22 June 1498, and was buried in the shrine of Baha al-Din Umar Jaghara’i, the same place as his father.Mirkhvand’s daughter’s son Khvandamir (died 1535\/6), whom he had trained and handed over his patronage networks, wrote a concise version of his grandfathers work in 1500, the Khul\u0101\u1e63at al-akhb\u0101r f\u012b bay\u0101n a\u1e25w\u0101l al-akhy\u0101r (“Summary reports on the affairs of those gone by”).       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Raw\u017cat a\u1e63-\u1e63af\u0101\u02be[edit]  Mirkhvand’s only known work is the Raw\u017cat a\u1e63-\u1e63af\u0101\u02be, a history of the world since creation from a Muslim point of view, divided into a preface, seven volumes, and an epilogue. The final volume and the epilogue were incomplete at the time of Mirkhvand’s death, and were later completed by Khvandamir. A discussion on the advantages of studying history is included in the Raw\u017cat a\u1e63-\u1e63af\u0101\u02be, a tradition that goes back to at least the 12th-century, when Ibn Funduq (died 1169) did the same in his Tarikh-i Bayhaq (1168). Mirkhvand’s discussion on the advantages of studying history was copied and modified by three other distinguished historians; Qasim Beg Hayati Tabrizi’s Tarikh (1554); Hossein Nishapuri Vuqu’i’s Majma al-akhbar (1591\/2); and Sharaf Khan Bidlisi’s Sharafnama (1596). Mirkhvand’s work attracted much attention, as demonstrated by its numerous translations, such as the Ottoman \u1e24ad\u012bqat al-\u02bfuly\u0101 dedicated by Mustafa ibn Hasanshah to the Ottoman grand vizier R\u00fcstem Pasha (d. 1561) in 1550 and Terc\u00fcm\u0101n-i d\u00fcst\u016br f\u012b \u1e25av\u0101disel-zam\u0101n wa-l-d\u00fch\u016br written by Mehmed Kemal Balatzade in 1555. The Raw\u017cat a\u1e63-\u1e63af\u0101\u02be was one of the three works generally read by history students in Mughal India.There exist hundreds of copies of Raw\u017cat a\u1e63-\u1e63af\u0101\u02be, making it one of the most copied Persian history books. However, neither the current editions by Parviz (1959\/60) and Kiyanfar (2001) nor the 19th-century lithographs are based on the oldest version of the books. For example, Kiyanfar’s edition is based on the Raw\u017cat al-\u1e63af\u0101-yi Nasir (written in 1854\u20136) of the 19th-century Iranian writer Reza-Qoli Khan Hedayat (died 1871), a continuation of the Raw\u017cat a\u1e63-\u1e63af\u0101\u02be and based on a lithograph printed in Bombay in 1849\/50. The Raw\u017cat a\u1e63-\u1e63af\u0101\u02be was frequently used by western orientalists from the 17th to the 19th-century to understand the history of Iran. As a result, there are numerous incomplete translations of it in European languages.According to the German orientalist Bertold Spuler, the Raw\u017cat a\u1e63-\u1e63af\u0101\u02be is the greatest universal history in Persian regarding the Islamic world.References[edit]Sources[edit]Bockholt, Philip (2020a). “M\u012brkhv\u0101nd”.
