4. The main sources for the early history of Isfahan are Abū Nuᶜaym (K. Dhikr Akhbār Iṣfahān), al-Māfarrūkhī (Maḥāsin Iṣfahān), with brief but very important comments by Ibn Ḥawqal (Ṣūrah al-Arḓ) and al-Muqaddasī (K. Aḥsan al-Taqāsīm fī Maᶜrifah al-Aqālīm). I have discussed the sources in further detail in “Urban Patterns in Pre-Safavid Isfahan,” Iranian Studies, Vol. VT”. Nos. 1-2 (Winter-Spring, 1974), pp. 18-44.
