Muntakhab-al Lubab

Muntakhab-al Lubab (Arabic for "selected [records] of the wise and pure"[1]) is a Persian language book about the history of India.

Completed around 1732, it was written by Khafi Khan in the Mughal Empire of present-day India.

The title of the book is also transliterated as Muntakhab ul-Lubab or Muntakhab-i-Lubab; it is also known as Tarikh-i Khafi Khan.

It covers the history of the Mughal dynasty in detail, including their ancestor Timur and his successors.

[1] According to Khafi Khan, his account of the period after 1669 was based on his personal observations and the verbal testimony of other witnesses.
