Notes

An incomplete translation of Saʿdī’s Gulistān where Maḥmūd tried to remain fairly faithful to the original. The verse sections are given in both Turkish and the Persian original. The translation ends at the end of Chapter 4; the remaining four chapters are not translated. This may be due to the difficulty Maḥmūd had in translating the verse.

The work is composed in 833 AH [1430 CE].

Main language of text
