The Kitāb al-Tārīkh al-Ghiyāthī is an Arabic-language historical work written by Ghiyāth al-Dīn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Fatḥ Allāh al-Baghdādī al-Falakī al-Kātib (alive in the early 10th century AH), which occupies a distinguished place among the historiographical writings of the ninth and early tenth centuries AH. The author, possessing strong command of Persian, drew upon historical sources in that language and cited a considerable number of Persian verses -either of historical value or employed as proverbial expressions- throughout his book. Al-Baghdādī most likely composed his work in the late ninth century AH, at a time when several literati and bureaucrats in Baghdad were familiar with both Persian and Turkish. A preliminary comparison shows that this scholar and historian referred to Turkish-language materials in only two or three instances, which reflects the dominance of Persian in Baghdad during that period. The printed edition of the Tārīkh al-Ghiyāthī published in Baghdad, however, contains numerous inaccuracies and defects in the transcription of the Persian verses. In the present study, all such verses have been first extracted and classified into two groups — the “historical section” and the “proverbial section.” Subsequently, these poems have been corrected based on a transcript made approximately eight decades ago from the manuscript preserved in the Baghdad Museum, revised by the distinguished scholar Muḥammad Qazvīnī, and further verified with reference to several additional sources. In making these emendations, priority has been given to sources which were likely among al-Baghdādī’s own references for the composition of this work.
