The exemplar of Indo-Persian history, at once a biography of
Emperor Akbar and a chronicle of sixteenth-century Mughal India.
Akbarnama, 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. The
fourth volume narrates the second eight years of Akbar's reign,
including an account of his visit to Ajmer, the arrival of an
embassy from the Safavid court, and the beginning of the author's
brother Faizi's career as court poet. The Persian text, presented
in the Naskh script, is based on a careful reassessment of the
primary sources.
