Was the Emperor written, or was it the biography?
You skipped the first half of my sentence, which makes it pretty clear who wrote the book. At least, I think it does. In any case, you did make me realize the last clause is awkwardly written, so thanks! I amended my original comment.

Based on the other examples, I think they meant, at the point where you have up to "written", do you expect the sentence to continue as above, or as something like: > I had this impression recently while reading the Akbarnama, which is a sort of court-approved biography of the Mughal Emperor Akbar, [who was] written as the greatest leader the Mughal empire ever had. Although if so, I don't think that one's a very good example, as suggested by the need to editorialize in the "[who was]" above.
