[From Preface] Lesan-ol-Ghayeb Khajeh Shamseddin Mohammad HAFEZ Shirazi, the most famous sonnet poet of Persia, was born in 1325 at Shiraz where he lived all his life. He died in 1390 at Shiraz and was buried there. His tomb is visited by the lovers of his thoughts and poetry. During his life, Hafez lectured on Koranic and other theological subjects. He is said to have learned by heart, 14 interpretations of the Koran and his surname Hafez, was given to him for this reason. Hafez lived in troubled times, sovereigns were overthrown, Shiraz was taken by force more than once and in the world loomed the menacing shadow of Timur (Tamerlane). These events are all mentioned in his poetry. However, the poems tell more of the social life of his time with Sufism as his guide, the mystical movement that demands complete self-abandonment for union with the ultimate reality. The most beautiful of Hafez's poetry is undoubtedly his "ghazal" (sonnet) which he brought to a perfection never achieved before. In this poetic form he presents unity and continuity of thought rather than the nature of the ghazal which is a lyrical poem of six to fifteen couplets without continuity and where each couplet may deal with different topics or ideas. Generally, the ghazal deals with wine and love but in Hafez's poems these are connected with Sufism. Basically, in any of Hafez's poetry, the poem can be read on two levels: 1) at its face value which tells about the gay and civilised life of medieval Iran and as a tribute to his wealthy patrons; 2) in a cryptic way which tells about the Sufi mystical theology. Above all, Hafez's poetry is characterised by his love of humanity, sympathy for the problems of ordinary people, contempt for hypocrisy and the search for the ultimate reality . . . This volume contains a number of sonnets translated into English by Gertrude Margaret Lowthian Bell. Her translation of Hafez's sonnets is probably one of the best translations ever done. Gertrude Margaret Lowthian Bell, an English traveller, was born at Washington Hall, County Durham, England, in 1868. Her successful career at Oxford , where she took a first in History in 1887, was followed by some time in Tehran. . . The last three years of her life were devoted to the creation of an archaelogical museum at Baghdad which is her monument in the land she loved and served so welt She died at Baghdad on 12 July 1926 and was buried there.…

Cloth, 8vo, viii, 306 pp. From the introduction: "The following list is designed to continue the publications of D. B. Horn and S. T. Bindoff, who have, in separate volumes, catalogued diplomatic representatives for the period 1689 to 1852. That there has been no comparable effort for the years before 1689 seems surprising. Statesmen, historians and antiquarians have provided numerous partial listings over the last four centuries - some only cursory and some quite sophisticated - that collectively indicate a continuing fascination with the question of diplomatic representation in the early modern era. Clearly this current handlist both owes a substantial debt to all of them and is an attempt as well to unify and expand what collected information exists. The principal objective in providing a handlist of Tudor and Stuart ambassadors is to push our knowledge about the men and missions of English diplomacy well back into the Renaissance, beginning with the reign of Henry VIII; and then concluding the effort where Professor Horn began his, in 1689. The 179 years under scrutiny are especially significant. It was in this perìod that the foundations of modera English diplomatie practices and institutions were established. Knowing the diplomats and their assignments is crucial to understanding how the evolution of diplomacy occurred." Good, Signed by A L Rowse on front pastedown endpaper. Some light yellow spotting to front pastedown endpaper.…
