TRANSCRIPTION.


For the transcription of Sanskrit words the system of the _Zeitschrift
der Deutschen Morgenländischen Gesellschaft_ has been followed; for that
of Persian words the system of the Grundriss der iranischen Philologie
has been adopted, with some variations however, e.g. ع is indicated by
ʻ. To be consistent, such familiar names as Hāfiz and Nizāmī appear as
H̱āfiḍ and Nidāmī; Omar Khayyām as ʻUmar Xayyām; and the word ghazal,
the German _Ghasele_, is written _γazal_.
