Full Description

Picture Gallery (1888) by Edward Rehatsek (1819 1891) is an English translation of the Persian moral miscellany Niga?rista?n (1334 5) by Mu?i?ni? Juvaini?, which was modelled on the Gulista?n (1258) of Sa?di?. Originally completed for the Kama Shastra Society, Rehatsek's translation has remained unpublished until now. This edition, edited by Gregory Maxwell Bruce, has been compiled from Rehatsek's original manuscript and contains extensive information about the translator, translation, text, and original author. It also contains a scholarly glossary of names and information aimed at facilitating comparison between Rehatsek's translation and Mu?i?ni?'s Persian original.
