The Dabistán, or School of manners, Volume 2 (of 3) translated from the original Persian, with notes and illustrations
by Unknown
"The Dabistán, or School of manners, Volume 2 (of 3)" by Fani, Shea, and Troyer is a Persian work on comparative religion written between 1645 and 1658. This remarkable text examines and compares Abrahamic, Dharmic, and other religions of mid-17th century South Asia and the Middle East across twelve chapters. It provides possibly the most reliable account of Akbar's syncretic Din-i Ilahi and represents one of the first historical works to mention Sikhism, documenting interviews with scholars from numerous faiths.
