The Sea of Chronicles is an English translation of the ninth and tenth chapters of the historiographical work entitled Muhit al-tavarikh by Muhammad Amin b. Mirza Muhammad Zaman Bukhari. The work is a valuable source in particular for the study of the late seventeenth-century Central Asian political, cultural and religious history.

The ninth chapter offers accounts of the Timurid, Abulkhayrid/Shaybanid and the first four Ashatrkhanid khans. The tenth chapter which is the most original and important chapter of the work presents a detailed account of the life and time of the last great Ashatkhanid ruler, Subhan Quli Khan (r. 1682–1702), revealing historical information essential for the study of the period and region.
