TEANSLATIONS AND COMMBNTAKIES
The first definite landmark in the history of Persian Qur'anic
literature is the translation of the large Arabic tafslr of al-Tabari, 1 which is likewise one of the oldest surviving works in the Persian
language.

Of approximately equal antiquity are the abridged translation of al-Tabarl's history of the world (Ta'rikh al-rusul wa-'l-muluk) undertaken by the Wazlr Abu 'All Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Bal'aml in obedience to an order issued
by Abu Salih Mansur ibn Nub (see Browne Lit. Hist, i 11-12, 369, 477-8), the Materia Medica (kitdb al-abniyah 'an fyaqa'iq al-adwiyah) composed by Abu Mansur Muwaffaq ibn 'All Harawi for the same ruler (sec Browne, ibid.),

and write Qur'anic exegesis in Persian. They based their opinion " We have not sent any apostle mainly on the Qur'anic verse
save with the language of his people, that he might explain to them " (Surah xiv 4, tr. Palmer), but also on the consideration that from the time of Adam to that of Ishmael all the prophets
and kings
the
first
of the earth
had spoken Persian, Ishmael having been
to speak Arabic.
l Accordingly, Mansur ibn Nuh assembled learned men from Bukhara, Samarqand, Balkh, Farghanah and elsewhere, and they by his order elected from among themselves a company
of translators. In the process of their work these scholars abridged the original by omitting the isnads. They also added some historical information up to the year 345.
At the present day
this translation
and the
oldest Persian
commentaries on the Qur'dn are of special interest for the light which they throw on the Persian language at a comparatively
early stage in its development.

In the following year she abolished this office and conferred on him the titles of Nawwab Wala- Jah Amir al-Mulk. Thenceforward he usurped more and more of the functions of rulership until in 1885 he was deposed by the Government of India and deprived of his titles. He died at Bhopal on
