This two-volume work describes three collections of Persian
manuscripts and lithographic prints at the Royal Library,
Copenhagen: 155 manuscripts and lithographs acquired by Arthur
Christensen in Iran, 10 manuscripts collected by David Simonsen and
102 manuscripts acquired by the Library. All items have been
included in the holdings of the Library after the publication of
the previous catalogue in 1857. The Persian manuscripts included in
the three collections cover a variety of topics, the major fields
being poetry and history. The oldest date from the 9th H/15th CE
century and the most recent from the 14th H/20th CE century. Among
the items described, there is a substantial number of Qagar-period
lithographs, many of them illustrated. A special group of
lithographs is formed by four diaries written by the Qagar ruler
Naser al-Din ah (ruled 1264 - 1313 H [1848 - 1896 CE]). In the
diaries, the Naser al-Din ah describes his travels in Iran, Iraq
and Europe. Designed especially as an essential source of reference
for scholars working in all aspects of manuscript studies, the
catalogue includes over 500 full-page illustrations (some in
colour) that help identify each of the manuscripts.
