Abstract: These two volumes contain the East India Company’s early correspondence about Persia [Iran], together with translations of firmans [farmāns, i.e. edicts] and trading privileges [rughūms] issued by the Shah and various Persian administrators between 19 March 1621 and 3 August 1697.Physical description: Foliation: This file consists of two physical volumes inside a slipcase. The foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover of volume one (ff 1-124) and terminates at the inside back cover of volume two (ff 125-252); these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. A previous foliation sequence, which is circled and located in the bottom right corner of the recto side of each folio, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.Pagination: A pagination sequence is present in parallel between ff 19-235; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled.
