ʻAjāyib al-makhlūqāt va gharāyib al-mawjūdāt

This critically edited Persian recension (Taḥrīr-i Fārsī) of a major work in ʻajāyib-nigārī (wonders literature) is established from two manuscripts: Kitāb-khānah-yi Majlis Shūrā-yi Islāmī (copied 9th century AH) and Princeton University Library (copied 865 AH). The text is arranged in ten rukns, each divided into bābs and fuṣūl, and surveys: celestial operations and what lies between the moon and the earth; the marvels of the globe—mountains, seas, rivers and the like; the wonders of cities, masājid and kanāʼis; plants and ṣuwar-i manqūshah; human nobility and the marvels of human nature; jinn; birds; and large beasts. The edition foregrounds the older Persian idiom of this recension and records key variants, offering a dependable basis for further study. By mapping themes and terminology across the rukns, it opens a clear path into the cosmographic imagination of the Islamic period and the regional knowledge embedded in its chapters.
