It was designed to accompany a map and, though the product of cabinet scholarship rather than original observation, it preserves much material from earlier compositions which are lost and shows originality in its organization. A facsimile edition of the unique MS, which came to light in Bukhara in the late 19th century, was published in Russia in 1930 by Barthold but it was left to MinorskGibb Memorial Trust Persian StudiesGeography, MedievalMiddle EastGeographyAsiaGeographyElectronic books.Geography, Medieval.953.3202Minorsky Vladimir1877-1966,Bartol'd V.
