The beginning and the end of the Šahrestānīhā ī Ērānšahr
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 February 2008
Abstract
Different readings of the first and the last phrase of the short Middle Persian text Šahrestānīhā ī Ērānšahr are suggested; these show that its beginning and end are not as strange or exceptional as is suggested in its latest edition. In particular, it is argued here that a Middle Persian translation of the title of the ‘Abbāsid caliph al-Manṣūr can be found in the text.
