NOTE ON THE PERSIAN TITLES.

Of these there are two:

1. ‘Humāyūn-nāma. Written by Gul-badan Begam, daughter of Bābar Pādshāh.’ This is on the first fly-leaf, which is of paper differing in colour and texture from that of the body of the MS., and identical with that of four blank sheets which are bound up at the end of the MS., perhaps to allow of writing in the missing portion of the work.

2. ‘Accounts of Humāyūn Pādshāh. Put together by Gul-badan Begam, a daughter of Bābar Pādshāh and a paternal aunt of Akbar Pādshāh.’ This stands on the first folio of the MS., which by the original paging is folio 10, and by the British Museum marking folio 2 (a).
