Contents
Summary of Contents: Specimens of the Gilaki dialect. A large, thin volume of 28 ff. of 34'7 x 21 c. and about 29 ll. in double columns, written in a very cursive modern Persian nim-shikasta, containing specimens of Gilaki, the dialect spoken in Gílán, in most cases with Persian translation opposite. A few of the extracts are in verse; the prose pieces are mostly short stories, and there is no preface, doxology, title or author's name. The compilation was probably made for Mr H. L. Rabino, formerly H.B.M. Consul in Rasht, who kindly gave it to me with other papers.
