Hardcover. Condizione: New. Language: ENGLISH. About the Book:-The Persian chronicler Ferishta (15601620) composed his great work, published in this four-volume English translation in 1829, at the court of Bijapur - where he spent most of his life - under the patronage of King Ibrahim Adil Shah II. It covers Muslim India from ar…ound 975 to 1612 and is notable for its balance, despite his close involvement with some of the events and people he records. Valuable additions to the text made by the translator, East India Company officer John Briggs (17851875), include genealogical tables and notes, as well as a comparative chronology of events in Europe and India. Volume 4 covers the kings of Gujarat, Malwa, Khandesh, Bengal and Bihar, Jaunpur, and Multan. There are also histories of Sindh and Kashmir. A comparative chronology of the minor kingdoms that eventually became part of the Mughal Empire is included, and Briggs' appendices provide glossaries of names and places. The book also examines the descendants of Timurlane and the founding of the Mughal dynasty by Babur in the early sixteenth century. The book gives a true account of the sovereigns of Delhi and of the Bahmuny kings of the Deccan. He also wrote in detail the histories of all the other Mohammedan princes who held independent sway in India during the 17th century. The deeds of the illustrious monarchs who reigned over Bijapur also form part of the book. The work has come to be regarded as a classic and still maintains a high place as an authority on the history of the period covered. About the Author:-Firishta or Ferete, full name Muhammad Qasim Hindu Shah was a Persian historian, who later settled in India and served the Deccan Sultans as their court historian. He was born in 1560 and died in 1620. The name Firishta means angel in Persian. In 1587 Firishta was serving as the captain of guards of King Murtuza Nizam Shah when Prince Miran overthrew his father and claimed the throne of Ahmednagar. Prince Miran spared the life of his former friend, who then left for Bijapur to enter the service of King Ibrahim Adil II in 1589. Having been in military positions until then, Firishta was not immediately successful in Bijapur. Further exacerbating matters was the fact that Firishta was of Shia origin and therefore did not have much chance of attaining a high position in the dominantly Sunni courts of the Deccan sultanates.
