Transcriber's Note: Several errors in the original book have been corrected for this eBook.

In the text of SalÁmÁn and AbsÁl the section headers for parts II, V and XI were omitted—these have been checked in FitzGerald's SalÁmÁn and AbsÁl: A Study by A. J. Arberry and put in the correct places.

Also in SalÁmÁn and AbsÁl, in part XXI, a paragraph break was missing. This has been re-inserted.

In addition, the following typographical errors have been corrected:
