€ 350.00

First edition, inscribed by the translator and several pencil corrections to the text. Rabenlechner praises this sumptuous edition of the 11th century narrative poem long attributed to the Persian epic poet Firdawsi: "the initial - gilt on blue background - shows Cufic character; each of the book's 17 gatherings is in a different colour" (cf. p. 125). Schlechta's autograph inscription is on the inside upper cover: "Zur freundlichen Erinnerung. Baden, 3.7.1889. Der Übersetzer".
