ABSTRACT Among issues most often debated by diamond writers is the matter of origin of the Koh-i Noor diamond. The well-known history of this diamond starts with its confiscation from the Great Mughal in 1739. Mughal sources translated into Western languages are silent on the topic of its earlier history. This fact caused authors to attempt to identify the Koh-i Noor with other stones of similar weight mentioned in texts from the Mughal era. Most often writers on stones contemplate if it is justified to identify it with the diamond of the founder of the Great Mughals dynasty – Babur (r.1526–1530). This text is an attempt to resolve this problem. It is for this purpose that source texts will be analysed, including those not published and gemmological material as well. This type of approach had not been employed hitherto, as far as I know, for examining the discussed problem.

Koh-i Noor Diamond 和 Babur's Stone：身份问题

摘要 钻石作者最常争论的问题是 Koh-i Noor 钻石的原产地问题。这颗钻石的著名历史始于 1739 年从伟大的莫卧儿王朝手中被没收。翻译成西方语言的莫卧儿文献对其早期历史的话题保持沉默。这一事实导致作者试图用莫卧儿时代文本中提到的其他重量相似的石头来识别光之山。大多数情况下，石头上的作家会考虑是否有理由将其与大莫卧儿王朝的创始人巴布尔（1526-1530 年在位）的钻石相提并论。本文试图解决这个问题。为此目的，将对原始文本进行分析，包括未发表的文本和宝石学材料。据我所知，到目前为止还没有采用这种方法，
