Description
Picture Gallery (1888) by Edward Rehatsek (18191891) is an English translation of the Persian moral miscellany Nigristn (13345) by Mun Juvain, which was modelled on the Gulistn (1258) of Sad. Originally completed for the Kama Shastra Society, Rehatsek's translation has remained unpublished until now. This edition, edited by Gregory Maxwell Bruce, has been compiled from Rehatsek's original manuscript and contains extensive information about the translator, translation, text, and original author. It also contains a scholarly glossary of names and information aimed at facilitating comparison between Rehatsek's translation and Mun's Persian original.
