into that of the ancient Persians, by 

 vich, physician to King Cosroes, surnamed 

 Nouschirvan, whom the prince had sent to 

 India to recover the book. This translation 

 bore the Persian name of Humaioun Nameh, 

 the august book. Aboul Maali rendered tliis 

 translation into modern Persian : but his 

 work was revised and enriched by Houssain 

 Kaschefi, and has since borne the title of 

 Calilah u Damnah, as well as that which has 

 been made in the Turkish language, for the 

 Sultan Soliman. For it is a dialogue between 

 two animals, to which have been given these 

 two proper names. These animals are called 

 from the name of their species Schacal, and 

 we have nothing in this country which is 

 more like them than the fox, both in appear- 

 ance and instinct. The book is full of very 

 ingenious apologues, in which the morals and 

 politics of Orientals are entirely comprised.]

 given by M. D'Herbelot in his Bibliotheque 

 Orientale, torn, i., p. 231, ed. 1777.]
