Descrizione

About the Book:- The Chahar Maqala is the interest of its contents for it contains the only contemporary account of Umar Khayyam and the oldest known account of Firdawsi, while many of the anecdotes are derived from the author’s own experience, or were orally communicated to him by persons who had direct knowledge of the facts. The book is therefore one of the most important original sources for our knowledge of the literary and scientific conditions which prevailed in Persia for the two or three centuries preceding its composition, Fifteen such blunders, some of them of the grossest character, have been enumerated by Mirza Muhammad in the preface to the text and some of these are fully discussed in Notes IV, V, VIII and XXI at the end of this volume.
