Abstract

The Great Mogul
August 10, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book "Akbar, the Great Mogul, 1542-1605," by Vincent A. Smith. The indiscriminate use of the term "Mogul" on and off the musical comedy stage in this country reminds the reader that it is used properly to designate the Timurid dynasty in India and is merely another form of "Mongol." For the Jesuit missionaries, who were always welcome at the court of the eclectic Akbar, the term "Mogor" covered the Mogul empire as distinct from the rest of India. These Jesuit missionaries left many complete records, some of which, either in the Vatican or in libraries of European monasteries, still await the Orientalist and collator.
