Mirza Mahdi Xan Astarabadi came from a Persian bureaucratic family.
He had for a time served Hadir Shah (r. 1736-1747) as Chief
Secretary and wrote two ornate histories of his master's eventful
reign. The present work was written in or near 1759 as a product of
his retirement. Sanglax, meaning Stony place, begins with a grammar
of the variety of Turkish which achieved the status of a literary
language in Eastern Iran and the adjoining regions of Central Asia
in the 15th and 16th centuries and is known as Cagatay but the bulk
of the work consists of a Turkish-Persian dictionary.
