A Forgotten Empire: Vijayanagar; A Contribution to the History of India by Robert Sewell Preface The two Portuguese chronicles, a translation of which into English is now for the first time offered to the public, are contained in a vellum-bound folio volume in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, amongst the manuscripts of which institution it bears the designation "PORT. NO. 65." The volume in question consists of copies of four original documents; the first two, written by Fernao Nuniz and Domingo Paes, being those translated below, the last two (at the end of the MS.) letters written from China about the year 1520 A.D. These will probably be published in translation by Mr. Donald Ferguson in the pages of the INDIAN ANTIQUARY. The first pair of original papers was sent with a covering letter by some one at Goa to some one in Europe. The names are not given, but there is every reason for believing that the recipient was the historian Barros in Lisbon. Both these papers are in the same handwriting, which fact - since they were written by separate Portuguese merchants or travellers at Vijayanagar in different years, one, I believe, shortly subsequent to 1520 A.D., the latter not later than about 1536 or 1537 - conclusively proves them to be copies of the originals, and not the originals themselves.[2] I have inserted a facsimile of two pages of the text, so that no doubt may remain on this point. The first portion consists of the conclusion of the text of Fernao Nuniz; the second of the covering letter written by the person who sent the originals to Europe; the third of the beginning of the text of Domingo Paes. Paes being the earlier in date (about 1520) I have given his account of personal experiences first, and afterwards the historical summary composed by Nuniz about the year 1536 or 1537.

A Forgotten Empire: Vijayanagar is a historical book written by Robert Sewell that focuses on the history of the Vijayanagara Empire in South India. The book covers the period from the foundation of the empire in 1336 to its decline and ultimate defeat by the Deccan sultanates in 1565. The book describes the rise of the Vijayanagara Empire under the leadership of Harihara and Bukka, who founded the empire after the fall of the Hoysala Empire. The empire reached its peak under the rule of Krishnadevaraya, who expanded the empire's territory and patronized arts and literature. Sewell also explores the political and social structure of the empire, including its administration, military, and religious institutions. He examines the role of Hinduism in the empire and its interactions with other religions, including Islam. The book also highlights the empire's cultural achievements, including its architecture, literature, music, and dance. Sewell discusses the significance of Hampi, the capital of the Vijayanagara Empire, which was once a thriving center of trade and culture. Overall, A Forgotten Empire: Vijayanagar provides a comprehensive and engaging account of the Vijayanagara Empire and its contributions to Indian history and culture.

The Vijayanagar Empire was a powerful Hindu kingdom that emerged in the southern region of India in the 14th century and lasted until its defeat by a coalition of Muslim kingdoms in 1565. The empire's capital was Vijayanagara, which was one of the largest and most magnificent cities in the world at the time.The empire was founded by two brothers, Harihara and Bukka, who were appointed as governors by the Hoysala Empire. They later declared independence and established their own kingdom. Over time, the Vijayanagar Empire grew in power and size, becoming a major force in South India and the Deccan Plateau.One of the empire's most notable rulers was Krishnadevaraya, who is often considered to be the greatest king of the Vijayanagar Empire. He was a patron of the arts and literature, and his reign is regarded as a golden age of South Indian culture.The Vijayanagar Empire's downfall came as a result of a coalition of Muslim kingdoms, including the Sultanates of Bijapur, Ahmednagar, and Golconda, who joined forces to defeat the empire in the Battle of Talikota in 1565. The battle was a decisive victory for the Muslim kingdoms, and it marked the end of the Vijayanagar Empire.For three centuries, the Vijayanagar Empire stood like a mighty bulwark, protecting the Hindu dharma in the South and in the Deccan. It stood like a rock against the Muslim invasions that had ravaged and destroyed large parts of the North. Today it exists only in stones and stories, but its legacy will forever be remembered.
