The History of Sultan Masud of Ghazna - Commentary, Bibliography, and Index

This is the first complete translation, with detailed commentary, of the surviving volumes of Beyhaqi's massive project. The historian's writings, dealing with the years 1030-1041, combine astute criticism and wry humor with an unobtrusive display of mastery of the learned literature of the time, both in Arabic and Persian.
