<p class="indent">Salāmān and Absāl are two characters that figure prominently in a series of medieval Persian philosophical and mystical allegories (see P. Heath, 'Salāmān and Absāl', <a href="abbreviation.html#ei">EI 2nd edition</a>, vol. 8, pp. 920-1). One of most famous of these allegories is the allegorical poem titled <em>The Book of Salāmān and Absāl</em> by the celebrated <a href="glossary.html#sufi">Sufi</a> poet Jāmī.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="indent"> The National Library of Medicine has an illuminated copy of Jāmī's <em>Kitāb Salāmān va Absāl</em> that also contains one miniature. The <a href="glossary.html#manuscript">manuscript</a> has not been used in any published edition, translation, or study.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="indent"> For other manuscripts copies, see <a href="abbreviation.html#keshavarzW">Keshavarz, "Wellcome"</a>, p. 525.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="indent">An edition of the poem was published as: <em>Salaman u absal, An allegorical Romance: being one of the seven poems entitled the Haft Aurang, of Mulla Jāmī</em>, now first edited from the collation of eight manuscripts by Forbes Falconer (London: Printed for the Society for the Publication of Oriental Texts, 1850). An English translation [by Edward Fitzgerald] was published anonymously as <em>Salāmān and Absāl: An allegory translated from the Persian of Jāmī</em>, (London, 1856) and then again in 1871 under the translator's name: <em>Salaman & Absal: An allegory, trans. Edward Fitzgerald</em> (Ipswich, 1871). See also A. J. Arberry, <em>Fitzgerald's Salāmān and Absāl: A Study</em> (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1956).</p>
