Its author, Fazl-Allah Khuzani Isfahani, member of an important bureaucratic family, provides an insider's account of this crucial period in Persian history, with a wealth of detail about the central and provincial administration and much information not found in other sources. Shortly after the succession of Shah Safi I, Fazl-Allah left for India, where he continued to work on his chronicle. So far, three volumes of the Afzal al-tawarikh have come to light, covering the reigns of Shah Isma'il, Shah Tahmasp and Shah 'Abbas; none of them is complete and each exists only in a sole copy.\u003cbr\u003eVolume 3 on Shah 'Abbas is a composite work, containing many of the author's handwritten corrections and marginalia, making it a fascinating example of the composition of a work in progress. The complete text of 579 folios has been edited by Kioumars Ghereghlou (Columbia University); the publication is accompanied by detailed indexes and a substantial introduction by Kioumars Ghereghlou and Charles Melville (University of Cambridge) on the life and career of Fazl-Allah, the significance of his work and the manuscripts on which it is based. This is volume one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fazli Beg Khuzani Isfahani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1909724505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781909724501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.31d","brand":"Fazli Beg Khuzani Isfahani","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47427635839231,"sku":"9781909724501","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e266317-29b1-4dde-a738-400febfbcba6.jpg?v=1761580630","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-chronicle-of-the-reign-fazli-beg-khuzani-isfahani-9781909724501","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
