The History of Akbar Vol 2

Akbarnāma or The History of Akbar by Abu’l-Fazl (d. 1602) is one of the most important works of Indo-Persian history and a touchstone of prose artistry. Marking a high point in a long rich tradition of Persian historical writing it served as a model for historians across 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.
