[Gulistan bi-l-Turkī] - كلستان بالتركى
- Scope & Content:
-
A Chaghatai translation of Sa‘dī’s classic Gulistān. The original translation was made in 800 AH (1397-98 CE) by Isfijābī (or Sibijābī) for Muḥammad Sulṭān (ff 3v, 5r), who was evidently the grandson and heir of Timur. Nothing is known about the author, who took his name from Isfijāb, the site of which, according to Barthold, is now occupied by the village of Sayram (mentioned in a poem on f 2r).
The current copy lacks the beginning and end of the translation. It is badly damp-stained. The first three folios (numbered ff 108-110) belong at the end of the text, while f 1 begins with part of the translator's preface.
This manuscript was possibly copied in Central Asia in the 10th century AH (16th century CE).
