Infos

This is a facsimile edition of a unique copy of an historical text in Persian, found in some antique shop in Yazd, Iran, several decades ago. The text is incomplete, but must have consisted of at least six chapters (bab). What remains are the last part of chapter four, chapter five, and the first part of chapter six. Chapter four treats of the rulers of Khurasan until the reign of Mu?izz al-Din Ahmad Sanjar (d. 552/1157-8). Chapter five is about memorable events in Herat, while the remaining part of chapter six c0ntains a listing of the qualities of Herat and Khurasan. The manuscript bears no title and no author is mentioned. The editors derive title and author from a reference in Mu?in al-Din Isfizari's (8th/14th cent.) Rawdat al-jannat fi awsaf madinat Harat. The text itself dates from the early 5th/11th, the manuscript from the 8th/14th century. Valuable as an early Persian text on Herat and Khurasan.
