Akbarnāma, or The History of Akbar, by Abul-Fazl (d. 1602), is one of the most important works of Indo-Persian history and a touchstone of prose artistry.
It marked a high point in a long, rich tradition of Persian historical writing, serving as a model for historians across the Persianate world. The work is simultaneously a biography of the Mughal emperor Akbar (r. 1556–1605) that includes descriptions of political and martial feats and cultural achievements, and a chronicle of sixteenth-century India.
The eighth and final volume spans the thirty-ninth to fiftieth years of Akbars reign, detailing the conquest of Ahmadnagar, Prince Salims rebellion, and the emperors final days. The Persian text, presented in the Naskh script, is based on a careful reassessment of the primary sources.
