Gibb Memorial Trust Faaili Balkh or the Merits of Balkh
This is a critical edition and translation of the medieval local history of Balkh, known as Fa?a?il-i Balkh ("The Merits of Balkh"), which was completed in 610 Hijri (1214 CE) in Arabic by Shaykh al-Islam Abu Bakr ?Abd Allah al-Wa?i? and translated into Persian by ?Abd Allah al-?usayni in 676 Hijri (1278 CE). It is the Persian version which survives today and forms the source text for this book. Balkh is one of the most illustrious cities of the Islamicate East, and yet we know very little about life in the city during the first five centuries of Islam (8th-13th centuries CE). The Fa?a?il-i Balkh, the oldest surviving local history of Balkh, changes that. The work is the sum of its parts, the first being a collection of accounts about the history of Balkh attributed largely to Muslim religious and legal scholars and their chains of transmission. The second part consists of original descriptions of Balkh's economic, urban and cultural life. The researcher who wants to know about Balkh
