page 449 note 1 See a very detailed bibliography of the Safavid histories by Horn, P., in Grundriss d. iran. Philologie, ii, 586–8.Google Scholar

page 450 note 1 Sir If. Beveridge, JRAS., 1902, p. 170, suggested as its author Khwāja 'Abdullāh Murvārīd, who is known as the author of a Tārīlch-i Shāhī. The Ahsan al-tawārīkh records his death and works under 922/1516. However, Murvārīd's association with Ismā'il seems to be of a later date while the anonymous history breathes the intimacy of a faithful adept.

page 450 note 2 It Mas edited by P. Horn in ZDHG,. 44. pp. 563–649, and translated by him in 1891. In an important review Zhukovsky, Zapiski, vi, 377–383, suggests that the Memoirs are only a record-of the Shāh's conversations with the Turkish ambassadors in 969/1361. Phillott re-edited the Memoirs in Bibl. Indioa, No. 1319, 1912. Both editions are full of mistakes.

page 451 note 1 'Ālam-ārā, pp. 136–141. I hear from Dr. W. Hinz (Berlin) that he has prepared a paper on the reign of Ismā'īl II.
