500			_aMogul India or Storia Do Mogor (in four volumes) is a travelogue of a well-known Italian traveller Niccolao Manucci, translated in English and annotated by William Irvine, ICS. It provides a vivid eye-witness account of Mughal India. Written in a charming style, the book is truly a magnum opus of the celebrated author who visited India in 1656 and was associated with the Mughal Court for over half a century. He describes herein, besides other intimate details, an account of Hindu religion, manners, customs, and description of Muhammadan weddings, funerals, and their social norms. The book is a veritable mine of otherwise inaccessible data about a period of Indian history which everyone should know. Comprehensive in its groundwork and masterly and lucid in its details, Niccolao’s book, as presented in its English version by Irvine, ranks among the most authoritative sources at the disposal of the historian of the future. A painstaking exploration of life as lived in an important period of Mughal history, the book includes facts carefully and ably translated and edited with historical footnotes which help in understanding them and their relation to the administrative, political, and social condition of the time. This work has been reproduced from the original artifact and remains as true to the original work as possible.
