The chief authority for Babar's life is his own Memoirs or Commentaries, the Wakai or Tuzak-i Babari, on which see pp. 12-15. The English translation by Erskine and Leyden, and Pavet de Courteille's French version, are both cited, but not always verbatim, The blanks in the Memoirs are to some extent filled by notices in the Tarikh-i-Rashidi, a history of the Mongols in Central Asia, written by Babar's cousin, Mirza Haidar, and completed within seventeen years after the Emperor's death: this important work has been admirably translated and edited by Professor E. Denison Ross and the late Consul-General N. Elias (1895). The Tabakat-i-Babari of Shaikh Zain-ad-din is little more than an inflated paraphrase of the later portions of the Memoirs. Babar's daughter, Gul-badan, who survived her father, also left some interesting Memoirs, which remain in MS. in the British Museum (Or. 166).
