Summary of Contents: تأریخ جدید This MS. is fully described on pp. 440-444 of my Catalogue and Description,
where references are given to other places where its authorship and contents are
discussed. I copied out the whole text (amounting to 283 large pages) and collated
it throughout with the British Museum MS. Or. 2942 (obtained from Mr Sidney
Churchill on Oct. 10, 1885), noting all variants. This work I completed on April
11, 1891, intending to publish it, but I only published the English translation, under
the title of The Tarikh-i-Jadid or New History of Mirad All Muhammad the
Báb...with an Introduction, Illustrations and Appendices (Cambridge University
Press, 1893). The discovery of Hajji Mirza Jáni of Káshán's Nuqtatu'l-Kaf, on
which the Ta'rikk-i-Jadid is based, in the Bibliothèque Nationale at Paris, rendered
the publication of the latter relatively unimportant, and the text of the former
ultimately appeared, with a full Introduction and Apparatus Criticus, in 1910 as
vol. xv of the "E. J. W. Gibb Memorial" Series. Full accounts of these two books
and their relation to one another will be found in the above-mentioned volumes.
My transcript, originally intended for the Press, is preserved amongst my MSS.,
but I have not at present assigned a class-mark to it. In size it is a (12).
