This beautifully crafted set of 6 books Is a monumental work on the Sikh religion, Its the most comprehensive work In the early Sikh tradition that provides an accurate version of the Sikh scriptures. This work was reproduced from the original artifact, and remains as true to the original work as possible. Born and educated in Ireland, Max Arthur Macauliffe (1841–1913) joined the Indian Civil Service in 1862. In 1882 he was promoted to the post of deputy commissioner of the Punjab. But it was after he retired from the civil service in 1893 that he gained public attention. Macauliffe developed a close affinity with Sikhism while in the state of Punjab, eventually converting to the religion. His translation into English of the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of Sikhism, is recognised as the most accurate to date.
