Published in 1794, this is a two-volume history of the Islamic kingdoms of southern India based around translations by orientalist Jonathan Scott (1753-1829). Volume 1 comprises the work of the renowned Persian chronicler Ferishta (1560-1620) from the thirteenth to the end of the sixteenth century.
This four-volume work, published in 1829, was the first major English translation of Persian chronicler Ferishta's monumental history of the Muslim presence in India. Notable as the most reliable of contemporary accounts of the Mughal empire, Ferishta's seventeenth-century work is a valuable source on life in India before British colonisation.
