First paragraph On January the 9th, 1907 CE, a Lahori bookseller named H. Abdur Rahman arrived at the India Office Library in London and offered a small but beautifully illustrated, handwritten book for sale. It was written in a Gurmukhi script and titled, ‘A Life of Nanak (Janamsakhi)’ and was dated 1733. According to the entry made in the library’s date book that day, the manuscript contained ‘a large number (over 50) of miniatures, was in a fair condition, and must be regarded as a rarity.’ Abdur Rahman seemed to be in a hurry to get back to India. So, the library acquired the manuscript for all of ten pounds. Keywords: Book review keywords: B40, Janamsakhi, Guru Nanak, sikh literature, Alam Chand |
