Coping from Madrasa of Itimad-ud-daulah at Delhi.

Itimad-ud-daulah was the father of the celebrated Nur Janan Begam, the favourite wife of the Emperor Jahangir. He was a Tartar by birth, and came over from Persia to India in the reign of the Emperor Akbar. He was raised to the rank of Vazir in the time of Jahangir, with the title of Itimad-ud-daulah. He amassed great wealth, died in A.D. 1621, and is buried near Agra in a garden which he made during his lifetime, where a splendid mausoleum of white marble inlaid with mosaic work was built over his relics in A.D. 1628 by his daughter Nur Jehan. He founded a College or Madrasa at Delhi. See Plate 19, fig. 1; Plate 35, figs. 1 and 3.
