Description: Mzandarn and Astarbd by H.L. Rabino, Charles Melville Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Mázandarán and Astarábád, originally published in 1928, gives an account of two remote and inaccessible Iranian provinces written by the diplomat and Persian scholar H. L. Rabino. Accompanied by a large-scale facsimile of the detailed original map. Publisher Description Mzandarn and Astarbd was first published as volume VII of the new series of the E.J.W. Gibb Memorial Series (1928). Much of the data was retrieved in the course of two expeditions by the author, one in spring of 1908 and the other between November 1909 and January 1910, the latter providing the chronological framework for Rabinos observations along his itinerary. It is a remarkable work, the product of many years of the careful accumulation of information about a region cut off from the Iranian Plateau by the formidable barrier of the Alburz Mountains and enjoying a complex history commensurate with its peculiar physical geography and inaccessible valleys. The book is a mixture of gazetteer and travelogue, informed by detailed research not only in the historical sources available, but also in the works of previous European and local writers. Notable among its valuable qualities is the substantial selection of Persian inscriptions provided in addition to Rabinos descriptive text. Here we have a scholarly and sensitive account of two Iranian provinces full of character and variety.This is a classic work that has long been out of print and an essential resource for subsequent work on the Caspian provinces, which all draw on the efforts of H. L. Rabino. Included with this new edition is a large-scale facsimile reproduction of the original accompanying map. Author Biography Hyacinth Louis Rabino di Borgomale (1877-1950) was a professional diplomat who spent many years in Persia in a variety of consular posts, first in Kirmanshah and particularly at Rasht, where he served as vice consul from 1906 to 1912. He was then posted to the Arab world (first Morocco and ultimately to Cairo, via Smyrna and Salonika), but retained his interest in the Caspian provinces. Alongside Mázandarán and Astarábád his other significant publications are his edition of the Tarikh-i Gilan va Dailamistan by ahr al-Dn Marash (1912) and Les provinces Caspiennes de la Perse: Le Guilan (1917). Charles Melville is Professor of Persian History, University of Cambridge, and Vice-President of the British Institute of Persian Studies. His main research interests are in the history and historiography of medieval Iran, with a concentration on the Mongol–Safavid periods (13th-17th centuries), and text-image studies of Persian manuscripts, particularly the Shahnama of Firdausi and historical texts (chronicles). His most recent publication is The Mongols Middle East: Continuity and transformation in Ilkhanid Iran (co-edited), Leiden 2016.
