Extract

The Jámi‘u’t-Tawáríkh is unquestionably one of the most important historical works in the Persian language, not only by reason of the singularly full and authentic account of the history and antiquities of the Mongols for which it is chiefly celebrated, but also by virtue of the general history, especially the history of the independent or semi-independent post-Muhammadan dynasties which held sway in Persia immediately before the rise of the Mongol dominion (i.e. between the ninth or tenth and the thirteenth centuries of the Christian era), wherewith the author, Rashídu'd-Dín Faḍlu'lláh, or ‘Rashíd the physician’ as he sometimes calls himself, supplemented his original work.

page 22 note 1 Only eleven Dásitáns are actually given in the text of this codex. The table of contents on ff. 406b–407a gives the titles of twelve, but it omits those on Kuyúk (No. 6) and Abáqaá (No. 11), and adds articles (not found in the text) on Aḥmad Takúdár, Gházán, and Úljáytú or Khudá-banda.Google Scholar

page 22 note 2 The portion of the text which M., Blochet is now editing for the Gibb Memorial begins with Ogotáy, and the printing has at present gone as far as the death of Mangú or Múnggá. It is, I believe, contemplated that this volume should end with the death of Tímúr, and that the second volume should begin with the accession of Húlágú.Google Scholar

page 23 note 1 See the preceding footnote. At the present date (Nov. 2nd, 1907) 336 pages of M. Blochet's text are in type. These correspond with ff. 521a–553b of the India Office MS.
