==Author== The Baharistan-i-Ghaibi was written by Alauddin Isfahani, alias Mirza Nathan. His father, Ibrahim Kalal, later entitled Ihtimam Khan was a special officer of Jahangir. On his orders, Ibrahim Kalal went to Bengal in 1608, along with Islam Khan Chishti, as an admiral of the Mughal fleet. Mirza Nathan accompanied his father in his service. Later Mirza Nathan was awarded the title of Shitab Khan by Jahangir. Serving in the Mughal army in Bengal, he witnessed most of the region's political events and common life, and wrote from personal observation. He took part in battles against Khwaja Usman and Pratapaditya during the viceroyalty of Islam Khan, but during the later period he was engaged in the warfare in Kamrup.
