BRILL, 2021. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Storey (1888-1966) produced a five-volume authoritative reference on the Persian written tradition, offering the names of authors and the title of those of their works that have survived in the Persian language. This second volume covers works of mathematics, weights and measures, astronomy and astrology, geography, medicine, encyclopaedias and miscellanies, arts and crafts, science, and occult arts. The broader headings are broken into sub-headings, for example under arts and crafts, there are sections on archery, calligraphy, arts of war and swordship, and others; under science are biology, mechanics, optics and others; and under occult arts are taksir, 'aqd i anamil, 'ilm i shanah, and others. Individual entries are chronological within these categories. (2021 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR)
