Translation And State: The Mahabharata At The Mughal Court (Beyond Boundaries, 1)

In 1587, Abu al-Faz?l ibn Mubarak - a celebrated favourite at the Mughal court and author of the Akbarnamah - completed his Preface to the Persian translation of the Mahabharata. This book is the first detailed study of Abu al-Faz?l's Preface. It offers fresh insights into manuscript practices at the Mughal court, the role a Persian version of the Mahabharata was meant to play, and the religious interactions that characterised sixteenth-century India.
