AKBAR
1. ORIGINAL SOURCES
Akbar-nama. By Shaikh Abu-'l-Fazl. Published by the A. S. B. in the Biblio-
theca Indica series. Text, 3 volumes.
A most valuable chronicle of Akbar's reign and the principal authority
for dates and bare facts.
When it goes beyond these it is highly coloured
by Abu-'l-Fazl's adulation of his master.
The Akbar-nama has been translated into English by Mr. H. Beveridge
and published by the A. S. B. in the same series.
Ain-i-Akbari. By Shaikh Abu-'l-Fazl. Published by the A. S. B. in the Biblio-
theca Indica series. Text, 3 volumes.
English translation in the same series, three volumes, vol. 1 by Blochmann
and vols. II and III by Jarrett. The translation of vol. I is generally accurate
but its chief value lies in the copious notes and appendices with which
the erudition of Mr Blochmann has enriched it. The translation of vols.
II and mi is excellent and the notes are ample, but the statistical account
of the provinces in vol. I is marred by failure to identify place names.
The Ain-i-Akbari contains a code of Akbar's regulations in all depart-
ments and on all subjects and includes, besides some extraneous matter, a
valuable and minute statistical account of his empire, with historical and
other notes.

The book, being written from the point of view taken by a bigoted
Sunni, is of the highest value as a check on the turgid panegyric composed
by the latitudinarian Abu-'l-Fazl.
Tabaqat-i-Akbari. By Khvaja Nizam-ud-din Ahmad. Text, Lucknow litho-
graphed edition of A. H. 1292 (A. D. 1875).
A dry chronicle of events, without comment, written by a highly placed
and therefore cautious official. The chronology is faulty but the work is
specially valuable for a record of events in Gujarat, where the author was
much employed. It is brought down to the thirty-ninth year of the reign.
