Description:
Written in ornate Persian prose is incorrectly identified on the spine as Qiṣṣah-ʼi Chahār Darvīsh (Tale of the Four Dervishes), spuriously ascribed to Amīr Khusraw Dihlavī (fl. ca. 1253–1325), on the basis of the colophon. However, another hand on the first flyleaf, likely that of prior owner Nathaniel Bland (1803–1865), identified as another (unidentified) work titled ‘Tales of the Genii’.
