Description

Akbarnāma, or The History of Akbar, by Abu’l-Fazl (d. 1602), is among the most vital works of Indo-Persian history and a touchstone of prose artistry. Marking a high point in a long, wealthy tradition of Persian historical writing, it served as a model for historians around the Persianate world. The work is at once a biography of the Mughal emperor Akbar (r. 1556–1605) that includes descriptions of his political and martial feats and cultural achievements, and a chronicle of sixteenth-century India. The fourth volume narrates the second one eight years of Akbar’s reign, including an account of his talk over with to Ajmer, the arrival of an embassy from the Safavid court, and the beginning of the creator’s brother Faizi’s career as court poet. The Persian text, presented within the Naskh script, is in keeping with a careful reassessment of the main sources.
