Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Persian Manuscripts, Vol. 2: In the British Museum Some poems in the Guran dialect, which supply materials for the study of a yet unexplored province of Persian speech (pp. 728 - 735). In compiling the biographical notices of poets valuable assistance has been derived from the new and copious sources of information collected, and critically sifted, by Doctor A. Sprenger in the first volume of his Catalogue of the Oude Libraries, a work the discontinuance of which must be regretted as a grievous loss to Oriental studies. Out of the rare and interesting manuscripts described under the remaining classes the following may be noticed here as especially worthy of attention: - Durrat ut-Tâj, an encyclopedia of philosophical sciences, written about A. D. 1300, by Kutb ud-Din Shirazi, for the Dubaj, or king of Gilan (p. 434). The Taf him, or manual of astronomy, by al-Blrunl: a copy dated A. H. 685 (p.451). The Zakhirah i Khwarazmshahi, a complete treatise of medicine, so called from the founder of the dynasty of the Khwarazm-Shahs, to whom it was dedicated about A. H. 504 (p.466). Ma dinush-Shifa, a medical work, compiled from Sanskrit sources for Sikandar Shah Lodi, A. H. 918 (p.471). A treatise on the art of war, dedicated to the Sultan of Dehli, Shams ud-Din Iltatmish, A. H. 607 633 (p.487). Several of the earliest Persian dictionaries, as Adat ul-Puzalfi, dated A. H. 822, Sharaf-Namah i Munyari, written about A. H. 862, and others (pp. 491, 492).Kitab Sindbfid, the tale of the kings son and the seven Vazirs, translated into Persian for Kilij Tamghaj, Khan of Turkistan, about A. H. 556 (p.748). An early, and yet unnoticed, translation of the memoirs of Baber, dated A. H. 994 (p.799). Simt ul-Ula, an account of the Kara-Khita is of Kirmiin, written by a contemporary historian, A. H. 716 (p.849). A third volume, now in a forward state of preparation, will comprise the description of the Elliot Mss. purchased in the year 1878, and of some other recent acquisitions, as well as indexes of names, titles, and subjects to the entire catalogue.
