Tabakat-i-Nasiri (3-volume set)

This compendious history of the Islamic presence in India has only been translated into English once; this edition includes a life of the original author, errata, extensive notes by the translator, and an index volume to both persons and places. The first six (abridged) chapters contain an unoriginal account of the patriarchs, the caliphs, and the monarchs of Iran and Yemen before the prophet; the bulk of the history tells of the Islamic dynasties of what is now Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.
