The official history of the reign of Akbar, the third Mughal Emperor (reigned 1556–1605), is known as the Akbarnama.
Akbarnama, or Book of Akbar, was authorised by Akbar and was written by his court historian and biographer, Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak. It contains colourful and in-depth accounts of his life and times and was written in Persian, the Mughals' literary language. The birth of Akbar, the history of Timur's family, the reigns of Babur and Humayun, and the Suri sultans of Delhi are all covered in the first book of Akbarnama. The first volume of Akbarnama covers Akbar's conception and upbringing. The events during Akbar's reign are documented in the second book, providing a complete history of Akbar's reign up until 1602.
