In this p
resentation\, Dr. Mehdi Ganjavi will historicize and explore the lesser kno
wn Henriyah Translation (tarjumah hinr
īyah)\, the oldest translation of One Thousand and One Nights<
/em> into Persian. Patronized by Henry Russell\, 2nd Baronet (1783–1852)\,
British resident in Hyderabad\, Mohammad Baqir Khurasani Bazanjiri (b.1772)
finalized his translation in 1814 almost three decades before Abdul Latif
Tasuji embarked on a similar project in Iran. Overlooked by historians of l
iterature\, Henriyah Translation happens to be
not only the earliest Persian translation\, but one which is based on a sig
nificantly older (arguably authentic) family of Alf Layla Wa-Layla
Arabic manuscripts. Through manuscript and archival study\, and textual an
alysis of the two manuscripts available from this translation\, this presen
tation will narrate an interregional story remained hidden for two centurie
s about Nights in Persian.
