Reviews
Of all the great monarchs to have ruled over India--a land whose history is richer and more turbulent than that of almost any other--the one who most retains our modern-day attention is Akbar, Mughal emperor from 1556 to 1605...[ The History of Akbar ] includes accounts of his court and his governance, as well as of the wars, alliances and intrigues of his time...Thackston's translation is the first complete rendition into English of Abu'l-Fazl's Persian text since Henry Beveridge, a British orientalist and imperial civil servant, completed his version in 1921...Thackston's English is modern and...[his] translation...is impressively meticulous.

Synopsis
The History of Akbar, Volume 5 by Abu'l-Fazl details the seventeenth to twenty-second years of Akbar's reign, including 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 primary sources., 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.

- p***p (47)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat seller! Item is what I ordered; good communication; shipped promptly; good value. NOTE TO SELLER: packaging was NOT appropriate for item; it was a flimsy, plastic envelope, with no stiff material to prevent creases. The book came with two deep creases that involved the *entire* item: one is a 1" triangle lower left side (bound edge); the other is a 7" triangle on upper right side (open edge).Beautiful Music for Two String Instruments, Bk 3: 2 Violins by Samuel Applebaum (#403989405345)
