"Bakhtiyar-name" ("The Tale of Bakhtiar"), also known as "The Tale of the Ten Viziers", is a work widely known in the East. Scholars confidently attribute the time of its writing to the XI-XII centuries. Various lists of "Bakhtiyar-name" are stored in most manuscript repositories of the world. Apart from numerous Persian, Arabic, Uighur and Malay versions of this work are also known. The Arabic version has come down to us as part of the fairy tales "Thousand and One Nights". The great popularity of "Bakhtiyar-name" is evidenced, in particular, by the fact that the proposed translation was made from a manuscript rewritten in 1687 in India, during the heyday of the Mughal dynasty. The book is also organically complemented by medieval stories and short stories, including "On the daughter of the Kashmiri ruler", "Nasr-Ayyar" and others. Buy a set of books at a 20% discount!
