(S), correspomling to p. 47, 1. 12—p. 49, 1. 7. PREFACE. In offering to students of Persian literature this second volume of my l'ersian Historical Texts, inaugurated two years age by the publication of Dawlatshah's "Memoirs of the Poets," I need not repeat what I have already said in the Preface to that volume as to the general plan of the series, the urgent need for critical editions of the most important Persian historical and biographical texts, and the considerations which led me to adopt the form and type here employed. Neither is it necessary that I should offer any such apology for the publication of this work as seemed to be required in the case of Dawlatshah's Memoirs. Of that work manuscripts abound, and there exists a passable lithographed edition; it was already well known, and dates from so recent a period as the last quarter of the fifteenth century. The work of which the second half (advanced before the fïrst for reasons which will shortly be stated) is now published is, on the other hand, both ancient and rare, and has hitherto, notwithstanding its importance, been quite inaccessible to the majority of Orientalists. It was composed towards the end of the first quarter of the thirteenth century, some 250 years earlier than Dawlatshah's Memoirs, and before the great Sacdi of Shfraz had become famous; and, if not (as the author pretends) the first Biography and Anthology of Persian poets ever written, it is at least, so far as we know, the oldest work of the kind which has been preserved to us. 1 Only two manuscripts of it (the Elliot Codex now in the possession of Mrs. Rylands of Manchester, and the Sprenger Codex in the Royal Library of Berlin) are known to exist, though since it was largely used by the late Rida-quli Khan in the eompilation of his MajmaulFusahd ("Concourse of the Eloquent"), published at Tihran in A. H. 1295 (A. D. 1878), it is to be presumed that a third Codex exists (or at least existed at that date) in Persia. lts antiquity and its rarity alike give it a high claim to consideration; and I trust that, whatever criticisms may be made on my text, it will be admitted by all students of Persian that I have done them a service in placing so important a work at their disposal. 1 o Nathaniel Bland, so far as I know, belongs the credit of first directing the attention of European scholars to this rare book. More than half a century ago, he published in the ninth volume of the J.R.A.S. (pp. 112—126) his classical account of the Elliot Codex (which has served as the basis for my text), entitled u<9« the earliest Persian Biography of Poets, by Muhammad Aüfi, and on some otlier Works of the class cal/ed Tazkirat-ul-Shuard1 his communication was read to the Asiatic society on Feb. 17, 1848, and should be consulted by all students of Persian literature, especially by students of this text. The subsequent history of the Elliot Codex is somewhat curious. It appears not to have been returned to the owner, but to have remained in Rland's possession until the time of his sudden death, when it was apparently sold with the rest of his library, and all traces of it were lost for many years. In 1898, however, Lord Cravvford caused to be prepared and privately printed (in an edition of one hundred) a Hand-list of the Arabic, Persian 1 Concerning the older Man&qibu 'sh-SASard of Abü Tahir al-Khdtunf (composed above the end of the cleventh century) see the J.R.A.S. for Jan. 1899, pp. 42—43, and pp. 7—8 of the Preface to my edition of Dawlatshah. and Turkish Manuscripts in the Bibliotheca Lindcsiana, that splendid collection of books so judiciously formed, so generously used, and now, alas! so far as the Oriental portion is concerned, so sadly withdrawn bcyond the reach of scholars. At p. IX of the Preface prefixed by Lord Crawford to this Hand-list (compiled by Mr. Michael Kerney) it is stated that "in the year 1866 the MSS. collected by Mr. Nathaniel Bland, a distinguished member of the Royal Asiatic Society, vvere purchased en bloc through Mr. Quaritch a collection rich especially in Persian illuminated books and in memoirs of Persian poets," and comprising "204 Arabic, 364 Persian and 63 Turkish vvorks, in all 631 volumes." And in eftect, under the heading "Tazkiratu-s-bu ara on p. --6, we find cAwfi's work bearing the number 308. It was quite by chance that I came across this privatelyprinted Hand-list in the Cambridge University Library, in February, 1898, and that, in looking to see what MSS. of Dawlatshah's Memoirs (on which I was than engaged) were included in the collection, I stumbled upon this important entry. Eager to verify its correctness, I succeeded in obtaining an introduction to Lord Crawford, who placed me in communication with his librarian, Mr. J. P. Edmond, a gentleman of whose courtesy and sympathetic kindness I cannot speak too highly. As the result of a brief correspondance, this precious manuscript, with a liberality altogether beyond praisc, was, on March 4, 1898, not only sent to me at Cambridge, but entrusted for an indefinite period to my private keeping. As soon as the manuscript reached 111e, I ascertained that it was the actual codex lent to Wand by J. B. Elliot, whose name, with the date 1825, it bore on the first leaf. It was a large volume of 608 numbered pages (not leaves), measuring 25.1 X 15.9 centimetres, and containing 19 lines to the page. The writing was a good, clear, legible and not very ancient Indian ta'liq (probably of the sixtcenth or seventeenth ccntury), with rubrications; but portions of tho work were written in a different and more ancient hand. 1 he pages were here and there a good deal worm-eaten, and mended in the margins and elsewhere, while some lines left wholly or partly blank (especially towards the end of the volume) testified to lacune already existing in the original from which it was copied. The destruction of the margins luid resulted in the loss of a good many variants or emendations there noted, though in some cases, where a V-shaped mark had been placed over a word in the text to call attention to an unsatisfactory reading, the variant or emendation had, apparently, never been added. On the whole, huw ever, the MS. was in excellent condition, and I at once set to work to transcribe it from the beginning. Having copied the first 130 pages, hovvever, I came to the conclusion that the second part of the work (chapters vin— xii, which form the contents of this volume) was more interesting and important than the first, and so, leaving the first part uncompleted, I devoted myself to the transcription of the second, which begins in the Elliot Codex on the third line of p. 265. Unfortunately, othcr work prevented me from pushing forward the transcription as fast as I wished, or, as the result showed, as fast as I ought to have done; and in the beginning of August, 1901, when the MS. had been in my possession for nearly three years and a half, I received a letter from Mr. Ednrond asking me to return it immediately, but not stating the reason for its recall. I had at that time nearly finishcd the transcription of the second part (pp. 265 608), and begged hard to be allowed to retain it for a few days longer. Mr. Ldmond, with his customary courtesy, did his utmost to meet my wishes, but on August 15 I was obliged to return the MS., having copied the whole of it except pp. 129—265, that is to say the whole of the second and half of the first past. Only at a later date did I lcarn that the whole of this fine collection of Oriental MSS. had been sold to Mrs Rylands of Manchester, to be placed, it was said, in the John Rylands Library in that town. The Times, I recollect, exulted in this transfer, supposing that these manuscripts would now be more readily accessible to scholars; but since, notwithstanding many efforts on my own part, and the kind intercession of many friends, it seems certain that these MSS. will never be accessible outside Manchester, and doubtful if they will be accessible there within any measurable time, I trust that I may be pardoned for not sharing that exultation. I do not yet wholly despair of being able to complete my work on the first part of this text, for which it is necessary to collate the remaining 136 pp. of the Elliot Codex; but I must still regard the passing of these MSS. out of the hands of their former most generous owner as one of the greatest calamities which have befallen Oriental students in recent times. What has been said above will, I trust, explain the somewhat unusual course which I have adopted in publishing the second part of this work before the first. The size of the book rendered division necessary, and, in fact, it is quite clear that, notwithstanding the consecutive numbering of the chapters, such division into two volumes was intended by the author, for the first part (chs. 1—vil) ends (E., p. 265; S. f. 79b) thus: — j öj**- yy JjjY\ < juaJl y while vol. 11 (chs. vm—xil) begins anew with the Bismillah. The fact that, owing to circumstances over which I had no control, the second volume was ready, while the first was not and could not (at least for the present) be completed, is in itself a sufficiënt excuse for the invcrted order of publication; but, apart froni this, the superior interest of this second volume, which deals with poets by profession instead of royal and noble amateurs (to whom the Arabic proverb "the Words of Kings are the Kings of Words" is not always applicable), would alone, I think, justify the course I have taken. My next step, after the withdrawal from my hands of the Elliot Codex, was to apply, in the autumn of 1901, to the Royal I.ibrary of Berlin for the loan of the only other known manuscript of 'Awff's Lubdb, viz. the Sprenger Codex, first described by Sprenger in his Catalogue of the .. . Manuscripts of the Libraries of the King of Ondh (Calcutta, 1854, pp. 1—6), and again in Pertsch's Verzeichtiiss d. persisch. Handschrift, d. Kónigl. Bibliothek zu Berlin, N°. 637, pp. 596—597. This MS. comprises 168 numbered leaves of 26.5 X 17.2 centimetres, each containing 21 lines. It is defective both at beginning and end, and is marred by many lacunae, some extending to many pages. Being defective at the end, the colophon, if such existed, is lost; but, to judge by the writing — a small, clear, neat nastcfliq, of which the reader can form his own opinion from the fac-simile prefixed to this volume —, this MS. is more ancient than the Elliot Codex by at least a century. This manuscript was, with the utmost liberality and courtesy, sent by the Authorities ol the Royal Library of Berlin to the Cambridge University Library for my use; and, having collated with it the whole of that portion which I had already transcribed from the Elliot Codex, I proceeded to transcribe from it the unfinished portion of vol. I, which I completed on February 18, 1902. Thus a transcript of the whole text is in my possession, but the second half of vol. I awaits collation with the Elliot Codex, now in Mrs Rylands' possession. The only other help which I have had at my disposal was the Majmofu l-Fitsahd of Rida-quli Khan, which lias been already mentioned tovvards the end of the first paragraph of this Preface. I wish that I had been able to ascertain what had become of the MS. of cAwfi's Lubdb which he evidently had at his disposal, and which is probably still extant at Tihran, but hitherto I have not been successful in this endeavour. Since the Majuiciit l-Fusaha contains only a selection of the verses given in the Lubdb (and even these seem in many cases to have been handled with some freedoni) it has been of merely occasional assistance, and many passages in the text depend on the Elliot Codex only. Some of these, in spite of all I could do, remain quite obscure, and not seldom I have been obliged to pass for press sentences and verses evidently erroneous or incomplete. Where possible and necessary, I have emended the text according to the best of my knowledge; and, when this failed, I have consultcd other scholars. To Professor de Goeje in particular I am deeply indebted for many valuable emendations in the Arabic verses cited here and there, which verses, owing to the ignorance of the copyist, are in general especially corrupt. In the Persian verses I have derived great help from my friend Mawlawf Muhammad Barakatu'llah and from my colleague Mr. R. A. Nicholson, vvhom I have also to thank for passing through the press pp. 241—320 of this volume while I was absent in Egypt during the first three months and a half of this year (1903). Of the author, Muhammad cAwfl (vvho, as he himself states in vol. I of his Jawdmfu'l-Hikdydt, derives his patronymic from cAbdu'r-Rahman b. cAwf, one of the council of six nominated by the Caliph cUmar to choose his successor) we know but little save what can be gleaned from this work and from that above mentioned; and nearly all that is known about him is given by Rieu on pp. 749—750 of his Catalogue of the Persian J/SS. in the British Museum. Briefly, he was a native of Transoxiana, studicd at Bukhara, visited numerous towns in Khurasan and Ma wara'u'n-Nahr towards the end of the sixth and beginning of the seventh century, and afterwards spent a considerable time in India, first at the court of Sultan Nasiru'd-Din Qubacha and afterwards at the court of his successful rival Shamsu'd-Di'n Iltatmish. Both in this work and in the very interesting JawdmFul-Hikaydt (a book which, notwithstanding its enormous size, certainly deserves publication) the author frequently refers to his personal circumstances, and these references I hope to collect and arrange in proper sequence in the Preface to the other volume of this text. Of the book itself my readers can form their own judgement. It is in some ways disappointing, chiefly in the extreme scantiness of the biographical particulars which it gives. Indeed it is rather an Anthology tlian a Biography of Poets, and the brief notices prefixed by the compiler to the poetical selections are singularly lacking in definite information, and consist too often of a few far-fetched wordplays on the poet's name. As an Anthology, however, it has a high value, since it offers us copious specimens of the work of many ancient poets otherwise almost or quite unknown to us. The titles of the first seven chapters, which constitute vol. I, are as follows: ( j\ J*Z. 'JJLA l pj Wjl < ^ Is** 1 •!j l J*\ v—»V i s\.^ ^ I jVj * ^ ^ » VJc- ^ \ j Ia«i \ JB.» Vltij j ^ L ' V Ths first four of these chapters are very short, occupying only g pages of my transcript, or about 250 lines. The invention of poetry is, as by Dawlatshah (p. 20 of my edition), ascribed to Adam, from whose supposed elegy 011 Abel (said to have been composed in Syriac, and afterwards translated by Yacrib b. Qahtan into Arabic) the first two couplets are cited; while the first Persian verses are, as usual, ascribed to the Sasanian King Bahram Gür (reigned A. D. 420—438). This King is also said to have composed poetry in Arabic, and our author even asserts that he had seen and perused a copy of the royal Diwdtt in the Sar-i-Pul ("Bridgend ) Library of Bukhara, from which manuscript he cites two Arabic fragments, each consisting of two couplets. He next mentions the ballads of Barbac1 or Bahlabad, the Court Minstrel of Khusraw Parwfz (A. D. 590—627), but excludes them from consideration as lacking metre, rhyme and other essential characteristics of poetry as understood by the Muhammadans. As I have elsewhere observed (f. A. A. S. for January, 1899, pp. 54 et seqq.), this half-legendary minstrel deserves the most attentive consideration of all who would study the origins of Persian Poetry; and it would be interesting to know whether cAwfi really had any knowledge as to the nature and character of the verses which are said to have exercised so extraordinary an influence on Khusraw Parwlz. Mention is next made of the qasida alleged to have been composed by a certain cAbbas of Merv in honour of al-Ma'mün's entry into that city in A. H. 193 (A. 1). 808—9), of which, for reasons stated in my Literary History of Persia from the earliest tunes uittil b irdciwsi (pp- 13 notes, 34° and 452, n. 3), I, along with Kazimirski, am inclined to doubt the authenticity. Thence the author passes immediately to the mention of the Tahirid, Saffarid and early Samanid periods with which this volume begins. I have already expressed my gratitude to my friends 1 ro- fessor M. J. de Goeje, Mr. R. A. Nicholson and Mawlawi' Muhammad Barakatu'llah for the valuable help they have given me in solving many difficult problems presented by this text, and I must add to these the names of my accomplished colleagues Professor A. A. Bevan and Sayyid CAH Bilgrami'. Nor can I conclude without once more testifying to the resourcefulness, promptitude and excellent workmanship of Messrs Brill of Leyden, the printers and Continental publishers of this series, and in particular to the courtesy of my friend Mr. F. de Stoppelaar, the head of that justly renowned firm. EDWARD G. BROWNE. Camisridge, June u, 1903. VARIANTS. Only two MSS. of tho work whereof tho second half is now published have been at my di9posal, viz. the Elliot MS. (hereinafter designated as E.), first described by Bland in vol. ïx of the J.R.A.S., pp. 112 et seqq., in an article entitled "tho oldcst Persian Biography of Poets"; and the Sprcnger MS. (hereinafter designated as S.), described in Sprenger's Catalogue of the Libraries of the King of Oude, pp. 1 — 6, and also in Pertsch's Verzeichniss derpersischen Handschriften der königl. Bibliothek zu lierlin, N° 37, pp. 596—597. A certain number of tho verses aro also cited in the excellent Majma'm'l-Fusahd (hereinafter designatcd as MP.) of the learned llida-quh' Khan, wlio used tho Lubabu'l-Albdb as one of his sources, and drew largely on the information which it contains. I have not, however, been able to discover what has boeomeofthe MS. whichhecmployed. The MajniaHflFusahd was lithographed at Tihran in A.H. 1295 (A. D. 1878) in two volumes, of which the first coniprises 657 and tho second 679 pages. From these three sources (the MSS. denoted as E. and S., of which the formcr is the fuller, and, as a rule, the more correct, and vol. i of the lithographed MP.) nearly all the variants here given are taken, and in the rare cases where I have used another text of one of the poems cited in (his work, tho source is fully indicated. The beginning of tliis second part of the Lubdh corresponds with E., p. 265, 1. 3, and S., f. 794. The other abbreviations in tho following pages explain thomsolves. Nearly all the variants, even the most trivial, are noted. When tho rejccted variant so closely resembles tho adopted reading that no mistako as to its position in tho line seems possible, it is given without furthcr comment; hut whero any doubt might arise, it is followod by tho accopted roading, precoded by tho word "for". Words omitted in one or other text are generally included in square brackets. 1, 1. S. om. [.J-Ij . . V;]- — 3- S- forJ?> and i ^ for j ^ . — 6. S. J' for — 8. S. \A»w\a>o. — 12.
