RAS Persian 204. (Library, Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland)

The text breaks off abruptly at the bottom of the page with a catchword in the second of the intended six maqalahs. The title-page layout on f1a shows that it was intended that the work should be printed (basmah) in Astrakhan. On f1b an alternative title is given: Tadhkirah-i Hajar al-Athar. Not a tract on cholera as such but a eulogistic and pietistic memoir of Yuhanna (John) entitled Nil (Neal or a variant, presumably), evidently the son of a British missionary, who died of cholera in St Petersburg on 1 July 1831, aged three years and eleven months after a short but saintly life. No references found. Possibly unique. On f1a, which is laid out as a model for the title page of a printed book it is stated that it was composed and written in Astrachan with the assistance of Hajji Mirza Muhammad Kazim Mazandarani the vizier, who is therefore not the author.
