Description:
|
Ṣad dar (One hundred Doors) by Īrānshāh ibn Malikshāh, in New Persian verse. Originally completed by the author in 1494 as a versified version of a well-known prose text, it contains one hundred chapters on different topics pertaining to the Zoroastrian faith. However, this manuscript regrettably appears defective and ends at Chapter 22 on 17a and then resumes Chapter 66 on 34a with the text on intervening folios 17b–33b curiously omitted and left blank, perhaps indicating the scribe copied it from another defective manuscript. Early Zoroastrian scholar Samuel Guise manuscript acquired the volume in Surat, India, and likely had it bound there with others.
