Not illustrated. 1887 Excerpt: ...that it occurred shortly before the beginning of the solar year in A.h. 1172. The events of the solar year of a.n. 1 Hill 72, from spring A.d. 1758 to spring A.d. 1759, occupy more than twenty-one pages of the work, and comprise the siege of Shiraz by Muhammad Hasan, his withdrawal, Kerim Khanis reoceupation of the country, and the death of his rival, in consequence of the Zand general Shaikh iAH Khanis invasion. This last subject is followed by an account of the immediately consequent submission of the Kajar territory. Then follows the rubric of the spring of A.n. 1172 (Add. 23,524, f. 27a-376). From this it would seem probablo that Shaikh iAH Khan did not march against the Kajar territory before the spring of A.d. 1759, at a time when military operations were practicable in that cold country. The date A.h. 1172 = A.d. 1759 is therefore the most probable. The death of Kerim Khan occurred on Tuesday, 13 Safar, 1193 = Monday-Tuesday, 1-2 March, 1779 (iAH Riza Tarikh-i-Zandia, Or. 2197, f. ssb, and three other MSS.; Dynasty of the Kajars, p. 9; other authorities agreeing as to the day of the month, but not stating that of the week). For the Zands after Kerim Khan I have found iAH Rizais History of the family the most useful authority for chronology. I have collated the dates in four of the manuscripts in the British Museum, (Or. 2197, Add. 24,903, Add. 26,198, and Add. 23,525), accidentally omitting a fifth(Add. 27,243), to which I was not induced afterwards to resort by sufficient variants in the four. I quote preferably Or. 2197 asa good text, referring to any differences in the other manuscripts. -1-Fot-h Abu-l-Fet-h Khan was proclaimed w..
