Description
This little Work presents it felf to the Publick without any affectation. of intrinsic importance, and merely as the herald of another; yet the Orientalist and Antiquary may be pleased to fee, for the first time, an Epitome of Persian Annals, in the original language of a native historian.The want of such a Work induced me to face, among my Manuscript Chronicles, the mod concise and comprehensive of the ancient persian* Sovereigns ; and the following pages are the result of my inquiry. To the Persian text and the English translation, I thought it necessary to subjoin some collateral illustrations from other manuscripts.
