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 fifth
volume details the bellicose seventeenth to twenty-second years of
Akbar's reign, including accounts of the conquest of Gujarat, the
capture of Rohtas fort from rebel Afghans, and the invasions of
Patna and Bengal. The Persian text, presented in the Naskh script,
is based on a careful reassessment of the primary sources.
