Akbar - Patron of the arts
Although Akbar was illiterate, he had a great love for knowledge, inviting men from all different religions to come to discuss matters of the world with him. He was a patron to many men of literary talent, among whom may be mentioned the brothers Feizi and Abul-Fazel. The former was commissioned by Akbar to translate a number of Sanskrit scientific works into Persian; and the latter produced the Akbarnama, an enduring record of the emperor's reign. It is also said that Akbar employed Jerome Xavier, a Jesuit missionary, to translate the four Gospels of the New Testament into Persian.
As with many Indian rulers Akbar's court had Navaratnas (Nine Jewels -- a term denoting the group of nine extraordinary people). Akbar's Nine Jewels were:
- Abul-Fazel - Akbars's chief advisor and author of Akbarnama, Akbar's biography
- Faizi
- Mian Tansen - Known for his voice and music
- Birbal - Known for great wit
- Raja Todar Mal
- Raja Man Singh
- Abdul Rahim Khan-I-Khana
- Fakir Aziao-Din
- Mullah Do Piaza
