Born and educated in Ireland, Max Arthur Macauliffe (1841 1913)
joined the Indian Civil Service in 1862. In 1882 he was promoted to
the post of deputy commissioner of the Punjab. But it was after he
retired from the civil service in 1893 that he gained public
attention. Macauliffe developed a close affinity with Sikhism while
in the Punjab, eventually converting to the religion. His
translation into English of the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of
Sikhism, is recognised as the most accurate to date. Following this
project, he set to work on this six-volume set, covering the
history and philosophy of Sikhism, first published in 1909 and
still regarded as the definitive work on the subject. Volume 2
narrates the lives of Angad, Amar Das and Ram Das, the second,
third and fourth of the Sikh gurus, with translations of their
compositions in the Sikh holy book.
