⁷ For Al Farabi see the German translation (*Die Muster-Stadt*) by F. Dietrici, Leyden 1895, and Carra de Vaux: *Avicenne*, Paris 1900. The *El-Akham es Soulthaniyah* is available in French as *Les Status Gouvernementaux* by Fagnan, Paris 1915. The *Siasset Nameha* is available in French as *Traité du Gouvernement* by Schefer, Paris 1893. The *Mokaddemah* is available in French as *Prolegomènes Historiques* by de Slane, Paris 1862-68. See also T. Husein: *La Philosophie Sociale d'Ibn Khaldhoun*, Paris 1917. A study as to the nature of Abul Fazl's contacts with these and other Arabic and Persian "old masters" in politics, economics, history and sociology etc. ought to be very interesting for an investigation into the achievements of Indo-Saracenic Renaissance.
