The Tarikh-e-Khandan-e-Timuriyah is a richly illustrated and the only extant copy of a manuscript which deals with the history of Timur and his descendants in Iran and India, including the Mughal rulers Babur, Humayun and Akbar.The manuscript was compiled in the 22nd regnal year of Akbar (1577-78 A.D).

This manuscript is one of the the most valued possessions of the Khuda Bakhsh Oriental Public Library, Patna, an autonomous institution under the Ministry of Culture, Governement of India. The name of the author and the original title of the work are not given in the text; but an endorsement, by one of its former owners, mentions the title as “Tarikh-e Khandan-e Timuriya”. This is fairly correct because it contains the history of the family of Timur, the great Central Asian ruler and conqueror. It appears that the text was written primarily to provide basic reference-material to Abul Fazl who was then compiling the official history of Akbar’s reign – the Akbar Namah, which includes a history of Akbar’s ancestors. Commonly, this text is also referred to as Timur Namah. In the year 2006, it was identified as a Manuscript Treasure of India by Ministry of Culture, Government of India.
