THE PAINTING ATTRIBUTED TO SURDAS, MUGHAL INDIA, LATE 16TH /EARLY17TH CENTURY

TWO MUGHAL PAINTINGS MOUNTED ON FOLIOS FROM THE FARHANG-I JAHANGIRIThe Farhang-i Jahangiri (Jahangir’s Dictionary), was a Persian lexicon written by Jamal al-Din Inju Shirazi (d.1626), an Iranian scholar, and is thought to have been presented to the Mughal Emperor Jahangir around 1608. When Jamal al-Din Inju entered the service of Akbar in 1596-1597, he had already begun work on the dictionary several years ago. Akbar encouraged work on this project and even assigned other learned men to assist Jamal al-Din. He was also a favourite of Jahangir and served under him after Akbar’s death in 1605. The dictionary took Jamal al-Din Inju twelve years to complete and consists of twenty-four chapters.
