Summary of Contents: تأريخ دار الامان قم. Another more complete copy of the History of Qum described above, copied for Prince Jalálu'd-Din Ihtishámu l-Mulk in 1286/1869-70 when he was governor of Káshán, and containing a few marginal notes in his hand. This MS. contains the first five chapters of the twenty which constitute the whole work, comprises 110 ff. of 28'4 x 17 c. and 25 ll., and is written in a small, neat modern naskh with rubrications. It ends abruptly without any colophon, the date of transcription being given in a note on f. 3. The chapters and sections occur as follows: Table of Contents, f. 7-8. Chapter I, § 1, f. 8b; § 2, f. 11; §3, f. 13"; § 4, f. 15"; $5, f. 16; § 6, f. 21"; §7, f. 33 (on the Fire-Temples); §8, f. 34". Chapter II, § 1, f. 37; § 2, f. 39; § 3, f. 44"; § 4 (title omitted); § 5, f. 61". Chapter III, 1, f. 65 (on the Imams); § 2. f. 70% Chapter IV, § 1, ff. 83-84"; § 2, f. 85". Chapter V, f. 93- It is to be regretted that the latter portion of this monograph, which would seem to be far more interesting to students of Persian than the earlier part, which deals almost exclusively with the Arab invaders and governors, appears to be lost, or at any rate undiscovered. Chapter XVIII, containing notices of 130 poets of Qum who wrote in Arabic and Persian, and chapter XIX, dealing with the Jews, Magians and Christians of Qum, would probably be of especial interest.
