Modi presents 13th century manuscript to Mongolian President
New Delhi, May 17 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is visiting Mongolia, on Sunday presented President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj a specially commissioned reproduction of a rare 13th century manuscript on the history of Mongols.
The present is from the Rampur Raza Library, Rampur. Called Jamiut Tawarikh.
"This work was one of the grandest projects undertaken by the Ilkhanate king Ghazan Khan (1295-1304) and was done by the king’s wazir Rasheeduddin Fazlullah Hamedani who wrote it in Persian and chronicled the history up to the reign of Oljeitju (1304-1316). The breadth of coverage of the work often caused it to be dubbed as the first world history," a government statement read.
The manuscript has over 80 fine miniature illustrations. The manuscript is a part of Volume 1 of the work and no other copy of it is known to exist.
