"Among the treasures of the John Frederick Lewis Collection of the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department are twenty-five elaborately illustrated folios from a centuries-old Mughal manuscript known as the Razmnama ( literally, 'Book of War' ). The manuscript dates to around 1598?99, and was produced under the Muslim Mughal Dynasty, which founded a kingdom in India in or during the early 16th century. "
