Muhammad Khwandamir
Ghiyāś ad-Dīn Muḥammad Khwāndamīr, Khvandamir, or Khondamir or Hondemir was a Persian Islamic scholar born in Herat, in 1475 AD, a grandson and successor to noted historian Mirkhond.Biography
Khwandamir, like his grandfather, belonged to the Herat literary circle of Timurid vizier Mir Ali-Shir Navai. In 1527, the Mughal conqueror Babur invited Khwandamir to India, where he lived and died. Khwandamir edited and completed 7th and 8th volumes of the general history composed by his grandfather, and around 1500 composed an extract from it "Holaset el-ehbar". Following the same pattern, in 1521 he composed for Ali-Shir Navai a three-volume general history entitled Habib al-Siyar, and brought it to his time. Another notable work was "Al-Destour Voser". In the European languages, other works of Khwandamir were not published.Works
