Introduction
- The sub-sub-sub-series preserves the drafts of Kahle’s study on Rašīd al-Dīn (1247-1218)’s «Ǧāmiʻ at-Tawārīkh» (“The Compendium of Chronicles”), which is one of the major Persian works on the history of China. Kahle studied in detail the content of this work as in the version of Ms Oxford, BL, Arab.b.1 and 2. On this work Kahle wrote a series of papers, all unpublished, that are: “Rashid Eddin Jāmiʻ et-Tawārīkh, Ms Oxford, BL, Arab.b.2”, “Die chinesischen Kaiser in Rashieddins Weltchronik”, “The Emperors of China. A Chapter in Rashīdaddīn’s Ǧāmiʻ at-Tawārīkh”, “Islam and the Far East in the Time of the Mongol Rulers”. The drafts of these documents are preservedin several copies, hand- and typewritten.
