Abul Fazl - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | ABUL FAZL, wazir and historiographer of the great Mogul emperor, Akbar, was born in the year A.D. His career as a minister of state, brilliant though it was, would probably have been by this time forgotten but for the record he himself has left of it in his celebrated history. |
 | | The Akbar Nameh, or Book of Akbar, as Abul Fazl's chief literary work, written in Persian, is called, consists of two parts - the first being a complete history of Akbar's reign and the second, entitled Ain-iAkbari, or Institutes of Akbar, being an account of the religious and political constitution and administration of the empire. |
 | | Abul Fazl died by the hand of an assassin, while returning from a mission to the Deccan in 1602. |
