Mazandaran and Astarabad was first published as volume VII of the
new series of the E.J.W. Gibb Memorial Series (1928). Much of the
data was retrieved in the course of two expeditions by the author,
one in spring of 1908 and the other between November 1909 and
January 1910, the latter providing the chronological framework for
Rabino's observations along his itinerary. It is a remarkable work,
the product of many years of the careful accumulation of
information about a region cut off from the Iranian Plateau by the
formidable barrier of the Alburz Mountains and enjoying a complex
history commensurate with its peculiar physical geography and
inaccessible valleys. The book is a mixture of gazetteer and
travelogue, informed by detailed research not only in the
historical sources available, but also in the works of previous
European and local writers. Notable among its valuable qualities is
the substantial selection of Persian inscriptions provided in
addition to Rabino's descriptive text. Here we have a scholarly and
sensitive account of two Iranian provinces full of character and
variety. This is a classic work that has long been out of print and
an essential resource for subsequent work on the Caspian provinces,
which all draw on the efforts of H. L. Rabino. Included with this
new edition is a large-scale facsimile reproduction of the original
accompanying map.
