Digital Rare Book:
An Introduction to the ANVARI SOOHLY of Hussein Vaiz Kashify
By Charles Stewart
Printed for the Author by W.Bulmer & W. Nicholas, London - 1821

The PANCHATANTRA goes by many names in many cultures. In India, it had at least 25 recensions, including the Sanskrit Tantrākhyāyikā[7] (Sanskrit: तन्त्राख्यायिका) and inspired the Hitopadesha. It was translated into Middle Persian in 570 CE by Borzūya. This became the basis for a Syriac translation as Kalilag and Damnag[8] and a translation into Arabic in 750 CE by Persian scholar Abdullah Ibn al-Muqaffa as Kalīlah wa Dimnah[9] (Arabic: كليلة و دمنة). A New Persian version from the 12th century became known as Kalīleh o Demneh[10] (Persian: کلیله و دمنه) and this was the basis of Kashefi's 15th century ANVAR-E SOHEYLI (Persian: انوار سهیلی, 'The Lights of Canopus'). The book in different form is also known as The Fables of Bidpai[12][13] (or Pilpai, in various European languages) or The Morall Philosophie of Doni (English, 1570).
