Published in 1794, this two-volume history of the Islamic kingdoms of southern India is based around translations by the orientalist Jonathan Scott (1753–1829). Volume 1 comprises the work of the Persian chronicler Ferishta (1560–1620) up to the end of the sixteenth century. Volume 2 draws on other authors and also contains a history of Bengal.
Serving in Bengal as a captain of the East India Company, Jonathan Scott (1753–1829) became a private Persian translator to Governor-General Warren Hastings in 1783. A gifted orientalist, he was elected a member of the Asiatic Society of Bengal in 1784, returned to England in 1785, and a year later published the first of his many translations, Memoirs of Eradut Khan (also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection), shedding light on the Mughal empire in the seventeenth century. This two-volume work, published in 1794, narrates the fortunes of the Islamic kingdoms in southern India from the thirteenth century onwards. Volume 1 comprises a translation of the work of the Persian chronicler Ferishta (1560–1620), documenting the history of the Deccan Plateau to the end of the sixteenth century. Volume 2 covers the expansion of the Mughal empire, its decline and the foundation of independent kingdoms, concluding with a history of Bengal.
