Mīrchānd

Mīrchānd ( Persian ميرخواند, DMG Mīrḫ ^w ānd ; * 1433 ; † after 1495 , possibly 1498, in Balkh , today Afghanistan ) was a Persian historian and Sayyid . Other forms of the name include Mirkhond , Mir Hwand (Mīrḫwānd) , Muhammad Ibn Khavand Shah and Muhammad Bin Khavendshah Bin Mahmud .

Mir Hwand made himself famous for the great historical work Rauzât ("Lustgarten der Lauterkeit "), written in a rich phrase-style , from which Friedrich Wilken and others published several sections, such as the history of the Samanids (Göttingen 1808, by Charles Defrémery , Paris 1845) , the history of the Ghasnavids (Berlin 1832), the history of the Bujids (Paris 1835), the history of the Sassanids (French by Silvestre de Sacy , Paris 1793) and the history of the Seljuqs (Persian and German by Johann August Vullers , Gießen 1838) .

Mirchond's grandson Chondemir (Khwandamir) (1475–1534), who while his grandfather was still alive (around 1495) made an excerpt from his great work, Quintessenz der Nachrichten , has himself published a world history: Habîb-essijar (written from 1521 on) .
