He came to acquire the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Jami&amp;#039; al-tawarikh]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; in its original manuscript. In his studies of the [[Roma people]], he made an identification with a legend of [[Bahram Gur]] and the [[Luri people|Luri]] to support a Romani presence in [[Sasanid]] Persia, now considered to be an unjustified and uncritical deduction that has persisted.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|author1=Adrian Marsh|author2=Elin Strand|title=Gypsies and the Problem of Identities: Contextual, Constructed and Contested|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=u52vzyK3v7EC&amp;amp;pg=PA46|date=22 August 2006|publisher=Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul|isbn=978-91-86884-17-8|page=46}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He was a son of [[John Harriott]]. In 1796 he became a cadet with the East India Company, and became a lieutenant in the [[Bengal Presidency]] in 1798, captain in 1806, and major in 1817; lieutenant-colonel in 1823 and colonel in 1829. In 1803 he lost a leg at the [[Battle of Delhi (1803)|Battle of Delhi]], serving under [[Lord Lake]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite DNB|wstitle=Harriott, John |volume=24}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Alphabetical list of the officers of the Bengal army: with the dates of their respective promotion, retirement, resignation, or death ... from ... 1760 to ... 1834 inclusive, corrected to ... 1837|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kMOEAAAAIAAJ&amp;amp;pg=PT78|year=1838|publisher=Longman, Orme, Brown, and co.|pages=78–9}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Dodwell and Miles, eds., &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Alphabetical list of the officers of the Bengal army; with the dates of their respective promotion, retirement, resignation, or death ... from ... 1760 to ... 1834 inclusive, corrected to ... 1837&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1838), pp. 132–3; [https://archive.org/stream/alphabeticallist00dodwrich#page/132/mode/2up archive.org.]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He lived much of his life in Calcutta,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://etext.ku.edu/view?docId=ksrlead/ksrl.sc.bengalsupreme.xml]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and ultimately reached the rank of Major General.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/details?Uri=D293780]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Harriott is known as one of the owners of the key manuscript of the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Jami&amp;#039; al-tawarikh]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, an important medieval manuscript dealing with Mongol history. How he came into its possession is not clearly known. According to [[Sotheby&amp;#039;s]], he found it in [[Danapur]] in 1813. [[William Hook Morley]] noticed it in the Royal Asiatic Society&amp;#039;s manuscript collection in 1838. From 1948 it was at the [[British Museum]], on loan, and then was sold, to an unknown purchaser.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/198101/a.history.of.the.world.htm]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
