THE PROBLEM OF FILLING UP BLANKS (GAPS; LACUNA) IN Z.M.BABAR’S “BABUR-NAMA” (MEMOIRS)
Keywords:
the gap, Lacuna, diary, accident, the blank, the blameAbstract
This article carries on notes on the Turki hiss of the Babar-nama, and all the translations agrees that Babar wrote the Memoirs late in life, and left the book incomplete, as we now possess them. Analysis show that the Turki and Persian versions are both alike defective and so the inference in unavoidable that the work was never completed.
