ABAKA, KHAN, the eighth emperor of the Moguls, a wise and good prince, ascended the throne in 1264. He reigned 17 years, and is by some authors said to have been a Christian. It may be admitted, indeed, that he joined with the Christians in keeping the feast of Easter, in the city Hamadan, a short time before his death. But this is no proof of his Christianity; it having been a common practice, in these times, for Christians and Mahometans to join in keeping the same feasts, when each would compliment the other by doing honour to his solemnity.
