Tarikh-i Jadidah-yi Tashkand
The Tarikh-i Jadidah-yi Tashkand (Persian: تاریخ جدیدۀ تاشکند) is a Persian chronicle about the Khanate of Kokand, composed in 1886 by Muhammad Salih Khwaja Tashkandi, a teacher in a traditional school. It is both the longest and last large chronicle about the Khanate of Kokand.[1][2] HistoryTashkandi had started writing the chronicle in 1862, but by the time it was completed, the Russian Empire had conquered the Khanate of Kokand.[1] The first volume of the chronicle, which makes up less than one-third of its content, presents a general history mostly drawn from older sources. In contrast, the second volume offers a more important account, focusing on the history of Tashkent, Ferghana, and the Khanate of Kokand, alongside an extensive description of the Russian conquest. The Tarikh-i Jadidah-yi Tashkand is amongst the many Persian historical works from Central Asia that has not received its own edition.[1] References
