ABSTRACT
Note: Where several editions are listed, all references are, when not otherwise noted, to the one first mentioned (in most cases the oldest). It is a cause of constant dismay that editors of Persian texts (as opposed to the universal practice with regard, for example, to Greek and Latin books) almost always refuse to give any kind of page-concordance to previous editions of the same work. It is not possible to remedy the si tuation here. But future editors of these texts might wish to take the very slight trouble of indicating the page numbers of the editions first men tioned in this list in the margins of their publications, thus making it pos sible for readers to use their editions in conjunction with this book (and with many previous reference works). Where no page-numbers are indi cated, the reader is referred to the index of the book in question.
