内容説明
This book is an abridged version of the work called "Storia Do Mogor" written by Niccolao Manucci, a Venetian who spent almost 60 years in India. He ran away from his home in Venice in 1653 and died in 1717 in India. He was one with a variety of talents and served the Moguls, the Portuguese and the British at various time during his stay. He was a artilleryman with Dara Shikoh (the eldest son of Shah Jahan) and upon his death he turned his abilities to persue a career in medicine. His profession kept changing with his fortunes and at one time he was involved with the Portuguese negotiations with the Marathas, and at another time negotiating between the British and Mugals.This volume presents the principal actions and observations of Manucci. He describes the Mugal court and its intrigues between the sons of Shah Jahan; the Mugal armies and operations; the customs of the people his lived and traveled among; the leading personages of the Mugal court and army, his interaction and negotiation with the various powers in India; his personal life; etcetera.
