Tarikh-i Shahrukhi

The Tarikh-i Shahrukhi (Persian: تاریخ شاهرخی) is a Persian chronicle about the Khanate of Kokand, composed in 1871/72 by Niaz-Muhammad ibn Ashur-Muhammad Khoqani under the orders of Muhammad Khudayar Khan (r. 1845–1875).[1] The Russians were aware of the chronicle, which served as the inspiration for their first historical writing about the Khanate of Kokand.[2] It is amongst the few Persian historical works from Central Asia that are available in text editions. However, the Russian American historian Yuri Bregel considers it to be "a very poor edition, without scholarly apparatus".[1]
