Two Tabari Manuscripts from the Qajar Period

This article transcribes, translates, and explains two Tabari texts written in 1889 in the Caspian town of Barfurush. The manuscripts appear as facsimile in the fifth volume of Mission scientifique en Perse, complied by the French scholar Jacques de Morgan in the turn of the nineteenth to twentieth centuries. The language of the texts is fundamentally similar to the living Mazandarani dialects, but not without extinct words and grammatical traits, which could be identified only by drawing on other surviving Mazandarani documents of the same period. The texts are not only ofdialectological interest, but also contribute to the study Mazandaranʹs modern history.
