Jawami ul-Hikayat

Jawami ul-Hikayat

"Jawāmi ul-Hikāyāt wa Lawāmi' ul-Riwāyāt" (also transcribed Djami al-Hikayat and Jami al-Hikayat) (جوامع الحکایات و لوامع الروایات) is a famous collection of Persian anecdotes written in the early 13th century.

Written by Zahiriddin Nasr Muhammad Aufi and dedicated to his Vizir "al Junaidi", the book was an encyclopaedia of anecdotage containing mines of interesting information, namely on historical information often not found elsewhere, from mythical times until the end of the rule of the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mustansir.

The entire text of this 2,500 page book remains to be edited and printed as of yet. Currently, only abridged volumes have been published.

The oldest extant manuscript of this work exists in the Bibliothèque nationale de France, dated 1232.
