Editorial notes

Two variant versions of this important text are included in the MCP, one based on Roorda’s text and edited by Lioubov Goriaeva (TS.R), and this one edited by Khalid M. Hussain (TS.K).   The Roorda text is slightly longer.

Khalid Hussain presents a largely diplomatic edition of the Leiden manuscript, supplemented in a few instances by comparisons to the Johor lithographed edition of 1879.  Some egregious inconsistencies in the transliteration have been corrected, though many more remain.

Khalid's edition gives quotations from the Qur'an, Hadiths and other quotes from Arabic and Persian sources in Arabic script.  A few of these are transcribed; most have been simply been signalled as present in the text.  For Qur'anic quotations, the surah and verse have been indicated.

The transcription often (though inconsistently) represents the Arabic letters `ain by ` and hamza by '.  This is reflected in the MCP text.

Reliability:

Only fair.  The variable quality of the print has degraded the OCR. If you detect errors or omissions,
