The Dabistán, or School of manners, Volume 1 (of 3) by Fani, Shea, and Troyer
"The Dabistán, or School of manners, Volume 1 (of 3)" by Fani, Shea, and Troyer is a Persian work on comparative religion written between 1645 and 1658. This remarkable text examines and compares Abrahamic, Dharmic, and other religions across mid-17th century South Asia and the Middle East, spanning twelve chapters. It offers rare historical insights into Emperor Akbar's syncretic Din-i Ilahi and contains one of history's first mentions of Sikhism, drawing from
the author's interviews with scholars of numerous faiths across Patna, Kashmir, Lahore, and beyond. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
