About the Book:- The account of the Jesuit Priest Father Monserrate's visit to the court of Akbar in the early 1580's. On the request of Akbar 3 missions came to visit him and to explain to him the salient features of their faith. The mission of Fr. Monserrate was the third mission. On their arrival they were received by Abul Fazal and then at the appropriate juncture, presented before Akbar. Needless to say that the prime motive of Fr. Monserrate was to convince Akbar to adopt the catholic faith, and we are made to believe that he almost succeeded. The book, whose spellings are amusing (eg Jalalud-din Akbar is spelt as Zelaldinus Equebar), gives a lot of information about the court of Akbar, its nobles, its functioning. Facts regarding the administration, military campaigns, land, produce, court intrigues find mention in this book; also mentioned are the theological debates that the fathers had with the other religious representatives at Akbar’s court. This book is a reprint of the 1922 edition. Translated from the original Latin by J.S. Hoyland. About the Author:-Antonio Monserrate (1536‒1600) was a Portuguese priest who accompanied two other priests, Father Rodolfo Acquaviva and Father Francisco Enriquez, on the first Jesuit mission to the court of the Emperor Akbar (1542–1605; reigned 1556‒1605), also known as Akbar the Great. Monserrate left Goa on November 17, 1579, and arrived at the Mughal capital of Fatehpur Sikri on March 4, 1580. The missionaries had been invited by Akbar and were warmly received at the court. Father Monserrate soon was appointed tutor to Murad, the second son of the emperor. He also accompanied Akbar on his military expedition to Kabul in 1581, proceeding as far as Peshawar with the emperor and to Jalalabad with the rear guard of the Mughal army. Monserrate remained at Akbar’s court until April 1582, when he returned to Goa. The Title 'The Commentary Of Father Monserrate, S.
