Pages are somewhat soiled and stained. Mirza Shafi Vazeh (1796?1852; Azerbaijani: Mirze Safe Vazeh), also known as the "sage from Ganja", was a classical bilingual poet in Azerbaijani and Persian, who continued the classical traditions of Azerbaijani poetry from the 14th century. His verses were translated into nearly all European languages.
