Hafiz Tanish ibn Mir Muhammad Bukhari (Persian: حافظ تنیش بن میرمحمد بخاری;[1] c. 1549–after 1598)[2][3] was a Bukharan historian and poet in the court of Abdullah Khan II (r. 1583–1598). He is best known as the author of Sharaf-nama-yi Shahi, a Persian-language historiography and official biography of Abdullah Khan II.[4]
The Sharaf-nama-yi Shahi, also known as the Abdullah-nameh, was described by historian Yuri Bregel as "one of the major works of Central Asian historiography and the most important historical source for the S̲h̲aybānī period."[2]
