About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Sikh Religion: Its Gurus, Sacred Writings and Authors, Volume 1 by Max Arthur Macauliffe. Read in English by volunteer readers. Michael MacAuliffe (also known as Max Arther Macauliffe) was a senior British administrator, prolific scholar and author. Macauliffe is renowned for his translation of Sikh scripture and history into English. This is one of the first (and still one of the few) comprehensive books about the Sikh religion in the English language. MacAuliffe had extensive access to manuscripts of the Sikh sacred writings (the Granth), as well as support from Sikh scholars and leaders of the time. This volume, volume one of six, covers Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism.
