In an extra number of the Journal issued in October, 
1910, Dr. E. Denison Ross edited the ‘‘ Diwan-i-Babur Padi- 
What adds a special interest to the con- 
tents of this volume is the fact that it has preserved a poetical 
work by Babur which was hitherto considered to be irretriev- 
ably lost. The manuscript which was locally regarded as the 
holograph of the Emperor throughout is but a work of a scribe 
with occasional marginal corrections and a fragment of a ruba’i 
written transversely across the last page in the emperor’s own 
hand. In the introduction to the diwan the editor justifies 
his having reverted to the spelling Babur which though 
always pronounced the final ur quite distinctly, which alone, 
he thinks, is sufficient evidence in support of the form Babur.
