Description
English: Photograph showing folios 91 verso and folio 92 recto of the British Library's 19th-century manuscript copy in Gorani of the Kitāb-i Khurshīd-i Khāvar (the tale of Khurshīd, son of the king of Khāvar Zamīn [Khorasan], and Khirāmān, the daughter of the Chinese emperor.) (Shelf mark: Add MS 7829, http://searcharchives.bl.uk/IAMS_VU2:IAMS032-003468915). The work occupies folios 1 recto to 67 verso; the remainder of the manuscript (ff. 68v–134v) is occupied by the Kitāb-i Laylá va Majnūn; a copy of the classic Layla and Majnun. This manuscript comes from the collection of Claudius Rich (1787–1821), who titled it "Two poems in the Guran dialect of the Courdish Language purchased at Sina. August 1820".
