Summary of Contents: تأريخ جديد This manuscript of the Tarikh-i-Jadid or "New History" of Hajji Mirza Jání of Káshán is a copy of F. 55 (p. 77 above) made by Professor Browne in 1890 and collated by him with the British Museum MS. Or. 2942 (Rieu, Supplement to the Persian Catalogue, No. 15), of which he has noted the variant readings in the margins. The original MS. came from Shíráz and was given to him in 1888. With the view of preparing a text for publication, he transcribed it "in a fair legible hand, such as could be casily read by an European compositor, marking the passages which seemed corrupt, or writing them in pencil with a query in the margin, and some- times a conjectural emendation." See the Introduction to The New History of the Báb, p. xliv foll., where the reasons which caused him to abandon his intention of publishing the text are fully set forth. On p. 77 above he refers to this transcript and adds, "I have not at present assigned a class-mark to it." Ff. 283, written on one side only, of 28.5 x 22 c. and 22 or 23 ll. A note on f. 283 states that the collation was finished at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 11th, 1891.
