Description
Max Arthur Macauliffe, a British official in India, spent years with Sikh scholars preparing The Religion of the Sikhs. His work grew to six volumes of translation and history. He learned Punjabi and won the trust of Sikh teachers who checked his renderings.
The volumes translate hymns of Guru Nanak and the later Gurus and tell the lives of all ten Gurus. Macauliffe aimed to give Sikhs a faithful record in English and to correct poor accounts then in print. His edition brought Sikh scripture and history to Western readers and is still quoted by students of the faith.
