【Summary】
This volume presents a systematic catalogue of Persian manuscripts preserved at the Library of Congress. It identifies 165 works contained in 146 manuscript volumes. Although the overall size of the collection is relatively modest, it includes several important, rare, unique, and artistically valuable manuscripts.
Each manuscript has been described with careful attention to textual criticism and codicology, following established scholarly standards. Manuscripts that are anonymous or less well-known are treated in greater detail. In addition to the main catalogue entries, the introduction provides statistical analyses of the collection and discusses its artistic features, including calligraphy, illumination, bindings, and decorative headings.
The catalogue thus serves as an essential reference for researchers in Persian studies, manuscript studies, and the history of the book.
