A literary history of Persia

INDEXIn the following Index, where a large number of references occur under one heading,the more important are, as a rule, printed in thicker type. The prefixes Abu (" Fatherof . . ."), Ibn ("Son of . . .") are disregarded in the arrangement of Muhammadan namesinto which they enter :thus, for example, such names as Abu Tahir and Ibn Sina are tobe sought under T and S respectively. A hyphen prefixed to a name indicates that it isproperly preceded by the Arabic definite article al- ; the letter b. between two names standsfor " ibn, son of . . ." Names of books, both Oriental and European, are printed in italics,and an asterisk is prefixed to those from which citations of any considerable length occurin the text Names of authors and other persons whose words are cited are similarlydistinguished.For typographical reasons it has been found necessary to omit in the Index the accentsIndicating the long vowels and the dots and dashes distinguishing the hard letters in theArabic and Persian names and words which it comprises. The correct transliteration i,fsuch words must therefore be sought in the text.Aaron, 409Ababil (birds), 178Abalish "the Accursed," 104,105, 107Aban al-Lahiqi, 332Abarsam, 138-'Abbas, 195, 214Abbas Efendi, 311-'Abbas b. -Ahnaf (poet), 277-'Abbas b.
