The Wazir Khan Mosque, Lahore. History and architecture.= Masjid Vazîr Khân, Lâhaur kâ tafsîlî aksî mutala'ah. "Before the construction of the Wazir Khan Mosque in Lahore, the largest mosque in the city was the Begam Shahi Majid, which was built in 1613 by emperor Jahangir in memory of his mother Maryam Zamani on the eastern side of Lahore Fort. Another congregational mosque in the heart of the city was badly needed. This was built by Wazir Khan in 1634 during the reign of Shah Jahan. It is situated just inside Delhi Gate and is built on the site of the ancient shrine of Shaikh Ishaq Gazruni (d. 1386). The mosque is a great architectural achievement. Several early European scholars realised its importance as a glowing example of Muslim architecture and the embellishment on its walls attracted particular attention. An effort is made here to describe the finer architectural points of this historical mosque.". (From preface by Chaghatai). 3 copies in OCLC.
