Marking a high point in a long, rich tradition of Persian historical writing, it served as a model for historians throughout 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.\n\nThe first volume details the birth of Akbar, his illustrious genealogy, and in particular the lives and exploits of his grandfather, Babur, and his father, Humayun, who laid the foundations of the Mughal Empire.\n\nThe Persian text, presented in the Naskh script, is based on a careful reassessment of the primary sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985006981173,"sku":"ByrdShop_0674427750","price":68.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780674427754_55d63804-407b-458a-b6c3-b792af55f41d.jpg?v=1792474110","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-history-of-akbar-volume-1-murty-classical-library-of-india-9780674427754","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
