ABUL FAZL

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 80 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ABUL FAZL , wazir and historiographer of the
great
  Mogul emperor,
Akbar
 , was born in the year A.D. 1551. 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 partsthe first being a complete history of Akbar's reign and the second, entitled Ain-i-Akbari, or Institutes of Akbar, being an account of the religious and political constitution and administration of the empire. The style is singularly elegant, and the contents of the second
part possess a unique and lasting
interest
 . An excellent
translation
  of the Ain by Francis Gladwin was published in Calcutta, 1783-1786. It was reprinted in London very inaccurately, and copies of the
original
  edition are now exceedingly rare and correspondingly valuable. It was also translated by Professor Blockmann in 1848. Abul Fazl died by the hand of an
assassin
 , while returning from a mission to the
Deccan
  in 1602. 'The murderer was instigated by Prince Selim, afterwards Jahangir, who had become jealous of the minister's influence.
